Special Sunday Highlight -Visit To Long Hoa Orphanage

Hi everyone! 

This time, we are back with a special highlight on a splendid Sunday spent at Long Hoa Orphanage. 
This visit was a significant part of our short 13 days trip in Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City.

Our visit brought with us a number of consumable goods, which will be used to feed the residents that call the orphanage their home. The donated necessities were raised through means of fund raising, which was conducted by the SP Team, as well as through various charitable organizations and individuals. 

We're happy to announce that the SP Team managed to bring along 1.5 tonnes of rice, as well as 60 boxes of noodles.

 Fun Fact - Did You Know?
To ensure its sustainability, Long Hoa Orphanage produces its own drinking water supply 
and sells them to various distributors.

 After a long day, it was time to bid farewell to the Long Hoa Orphanage. 
Here's our final group photo of the day! 

Overall, the entire team felt that this trip has been very meaningful for us. From our interaction with the children, we have learnt that we should be appreciative and grateful for what we have back home. We would also like to send a huge thank you to the ever helpful Nguyen Huu Canh College students for helping us with facilitating this event. :)

We hope that these moments we spent together with the children will last us all a lifetime.

More updates will be put up soon!
