Today was our first day following up our 2023 projects onsite in South Vietnam. And what a day!

We started by visiting the Vi Nhân school in Buôn Ma Thuôt (Thao’s birthplace 🙂). This school welcomes around 200 blind or deaf mute children . Thanks to your help, they received a new washing machine, around 15 new school desks and seats, and various other school supplies. They prepared a beautiful show to thank you (see the video below, hoping you enjoy)!

Later in the afternoon, we also visited Gia Dình Bình Minh, a small center that hosts around 40 children with Down syndrome or autism. Our donations paid for several shelves with educational games and books, and 2 new bikes!

We finished the day by visiting Nhà Sac Tôc Têrêsa, a living center for minority children. They used to live in the countryside, didn’t go to school, and most of them didn’t speak Vietnamese. They received a large TV (helpful to learn Vietnamese!), 1800 notebooks and 20 millions dông in scholarships (around $850).

As you can see in the pictures we are helped by many local friends who volunteer their time to organize and support all these initiatives onsite. We spent a wonderful day surrounded by the children and educative teams in those centers. They are doing an amazing job with so much joy and positivity all around!
