Wow ! Has the world changed in the last month. We keep in frequent contact with Martha and Sister Superior about the welfare of the children. Read our MARCH NEWSLETTER for the details of how the Sisters and Children are managing. Spoiler alert: You will be proud !
Much like the rest of the world travel is limited, schools are closed, visitors are currently prohibited and all are being socially responsible.
We am most thankful for our programs in clean water, dental hygiene and basic medical support. They are well established and during this uncertain period are paying dividends.
Through your generosity FVSO is in a position to continue our support of the children for the near future. As new information from Kon Tum or Pleiku becomes relevant we will certainly keep you informed.
During this period of uncertainty we at FVSO will continue to represent you, our donors, professionally and responsibly.
