We often tell you about how your donations directly affect the children with food, medicine and shelter. Your donations also sponsor major projects that do much to improve their lives. One of these projects is providing clean safe drinking water. VietDreams specializes in providing clean water systems throughout Vietnam. We have contracted with them since 2011 to provide and maintain the systems in all 8 locations. Each system is sized for the specific location. It includes a micro filtration system as well as a UV system to purify the water.
Each system is inspected quarterly by professionals with filters changed and all mechanics inspected. Clean water and health go hand in hand. Since 2011 we have seen significant improvement in overall health of the kids. Your donations make this possible.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, the Sisters and the children we thank you for your amazing support in the pandemic years of 2020 and 2021
Looking forward to a healthy 2022

You Raise Me Up
In April 2019 Clyde and a group of FVSO donors were in Kontum. The college students who are supported by FVSO put on a talent show for the visitors. They were most impressed.
One of the highlights was at the song You Raise Me Up sung by Y Luin. She came to the orphanage when she was 8 years old. She is now enrolled in college with plans to become an English teacher.
She is still active at Vinh Son and teaches catechism every Sunday.
What a wonderful Thank You to her FVSO sponsors.
When I am down and oh, my soul so weary
When troubles come and my heart burdened be
Then I am still and wait here in the silence
Until You come and sit awhile with me
You raise me up so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on Your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be
You raise me up so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on Your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be
There is no life, no life without its hunger
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly
But when You come and I am filled with wonder
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity
You raise me up so I can stand on mountains
(You raise me up, I can stand on mountains)
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
(Walk on stormy seas)
And I am strong when I am on Your shoulders
Oh, you raise me up to more than I can be
You raise me up to more than I can be
