Our May Newsletter celebrates the Easter Season in Kontum and Pleiku. Once again I am reminded about how hard the Sisters and Caregivers work to make this all happen.
In just a few short months, thanks to your help, there has been significant progress made towards resuming normal life in Kontum and Pleiku. The end of the school year is approaching and although there are new social distance guidelines for students of all ages the Sisters and the kids have found ways to incorporate them into their daily life. We have also started new capital improvement projects that will have a huge, long-term impact on their lives. The repair of the girl’s bathroom and the new boys dining hall at VS1 are well under way. The chicken coop and pigpens at VS2 are also well under way. Building plans for the new activity hall at VS3 have been submitted for a building permit. These ambitious projects have only been approved because of your generosity. In the future, we hope to be able to fund a new dormitory at VS4 and a pigpen at VS6. These improvements are in addition to FVSO’s continued focus on basic needs, our top priority every year.
