WOW, words cannot express the wonder at the generosity of our donors. Not only did we blow past our goal of $150,000 for our annual fund, we had a record year for total donations. You donated $336,000 in 2020, far beyond our expectations of $295,000.
We have always been very cautious and conservative in managing your donations, this year will be a wonderful challenge. Our February Newsletter and WEB site will give you details. Our focus will continue to be on Basic Needs, Safe Infrastructure and Education.
I our January Newsletter read about our partnership with VietDreams to provide clean water, a note from Martha to recap 2020 as well as an introduction to our newest child Y Noung
ANNUAL FUND DRIVE
2021 is a FVSO anniversary year, 20 years since our early Board Members made a trip to Kontum and 15 years since we formally became FVSO. In the 15-20 years you have made a significant difference in literally thousands of lives. You can see it in the orphanages and also in the neighborhoods and villages around the orphanages. A rising tide lifts all boats. It is still a third world country and there is still a lot of need .. but we are making a difference. Thank You.
All operating expenses paid by the Board of Directors so 100% of your donation goes
to the children.
