Our November Newsletter tells the how the sisters and the children are adapting to the new school year. There have been several changes, often reversals of rules that have kept the Sisters on their toes. We also continue our story with the Happy Baker, Y Thuan. VS3 has a new chapel and multi purpose building, Sr Gabrille is most happy.
We are closing in on the end of another challenging year. In early October the kids and the nuns celebrated their version of Thanksgiving called The Moon Festival. Your generosity helped make it a joyful event despite COVID. In late October, with kids worldwide, they celebrated Halloween although limited by tight COVID lockdown restrictions. Of course December is a big month with the Christmas celebration coming soon. Through all of the ups and downs of the last 19 months the kids and nuns have shown amazing resilience. The children have kept up with their studies despite constant distractions and have maintained their farms and livestock. Your support has made the impossible possible. The children and the nuns are most thankful. They keep you in their daily prayers
Fund Raising 2021
As of the end of October we have reached almost 47% of our goal of $150,000. 2021 was a real budget stretch for FVSO. The kids stayed "home" and were home schooled for much of the last 20 months. The shortage of proper buildings and food resources became acute. This year we sent over $120,000 just for capital improvements.
Your generosity in November and December of previous years gives us confidence we will reach our 2021 goal

SUPPORT THE CHILDREN
We hope you will be moved to help the children with a donation. For only $12 a month (about the price of one take-out large pizza) you will provide daily nutrition for one child for one month. Make a difference today. It is our hope that others who are interested in helping the poorest of the poor’s orphans will choose to participate in this very worthwhile and life sustaining cause.
If you wish to contribute, we encourage you to not only make a personal contribution, but to spread the word about our work to other Vets, your church and community groups.
The FVSO Board pays for all administrative costs.
100% of your donation goes to the children, or projects that support the children.
