Our June Newsletter celebrates the the end of the school year for the kids. It also tells the exciting story of Y Thuan and her first job after graduating from Baking School and her first flight !
Just as we were beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel the train backed up. After an extraordinary year of controlling COVID Vietnam is now experiencing a resurgence of the virus. We do not know how or if this will directly affect the kids but we do know the Sisters are up to the task. They have shown remarkable skill patience, understanding and skill in the last 18 months. This would have been almost impossible with out your support. The money that we are able to send is a foundation for their daily security.
For 20 years, we have worked hard to build a bridge between your donations and the Vinh Son and Sao Mai families. As middlemen, we have seen firsthand the wonderful progress due to your ongoing support. You have improved so many lives and made hope a reality
