In July we started our annual fundraising event. We are facing some pretty strong headwinds with inflation, both here and in Vietnam. We recognized this and we increased the Basic Needs Allowance by 10% in June. The farm and agriculture projects you have supported also help offset recent inflation. I am always impressed how the nuns can stretch a dollar. During the summer the kids attend special classes staffed by the Sisters and caregivers. They also work on the gardens and the farms supported by your donations. The pictures the children send show how much your support means to them.
On the right is a button you can click to see some of the wonderful art the children send us.
The Childrens Art
