💧 Bringing Clean Water and Hope to Ly Tôn Village, Quảng Trị, Vietnam

Through the kindness and generosity of Five Islands RV Campground in Nova Scotia, which funded the full cost of drilling three water wells and constructing washing areas, the Children of Vietnam Benevolent Foundation (CVBF) is delighted to share the successful completion of this meaningful clean-water project in Ly Tôn Village.

Located in the remote mountainous region of Đakrông District, near the Laos border, Ly Tôn is home to 75 households of the Vân Kiều ethnic minority. Families face challenging living conditions, limited livelihood opportunities, and increasingly difficult access to essential resources.
For years, residents have depended on natural streams and rivers for their daily water needs. During the dry season, scorching heat causes water sources to dry up. During the rainy season, contaminated water, flooding, and landslides create serious health risks and can isolate the community. Many families depend on cassava farming, where low yields and low selling prices make it difficult to provide for their children.

Bringing water to Ly Tôn was far from easy.
After two months of effort and drilling at six different locations, the team encountered solid granite. When conventional hydraulic drilling failed, they had to switch to machine-cutting methods, facing tremendous technical challenges and difficult working conditions.

Yet, they did not give up.

Finally, all three wells successfully yielded water! This achievement is a testament to the perseverance, dedication, and compassion of everyone involved.
On behalf of CVBF and our generous supporters, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to Mr. Đê and his construction team, Teacher Nhã, and Teacher Văn Anh for their tireless efforts, determination, and unwavering commitment to bringing this project to completion.

Our heartfelt thanks also go to Five Islands RV Campground for making this project possible through their extraordinary generosity. These three wells and washing areas represent far more than a source of water. They bring better hygiene, improved health, relief from daily hardships, and renewed hope for the families and children of Ly Tôn Village.

Sometimes, the greatest gift is something we may take for granted every day: clean water. Today, thanks to your kindness and the dedication of our team in Vietnam, this precious gift has become a reality for a community that needs it so much.💧

Together, we are bringing more than water. We are bringing hope, dignity, and a brighter future. ❤️

Supporting Children with Special Needs at Hưng Đông Centre

La Gi, Bình Thuận Province, Vietnam

Trung Tâm Khuyết Tật Hưng Đông is a boarding centre and orphanage providing care, education, and support for 96 children with special needs, ranging from 3 to 24 years old.

Since beginning its mission in 2002, the centre has operated in various borrowed facilities throughout Bình Thuận Province. In 2015, the centre finally found a permanent place to call home. However, the aging buildings still require significant repairs. The roofs leak, the foundations are cracked, and many bunk beds and furnishings in the boys’ and girls’ sleeping quarters are broken.

The centre is home to 27 orphaned children and 69 children from extremely poor families who have come from near and far seeking support for their children with disabilities. Their needs include hearing and speech impairments, autism, and developmental delays.

Eight sisters and two sisters in formation generously devote their lives to caring for these children.They provide accommodation, education, meals, medical care, and daily assistance, creating a nurturing environment where the children can learn, grow, and feel loved. The centre receives no government funding and relies on support from the Church of the Holy Family in Nha Trang, local donors, and occasional visitors. Families contribute whatever they can afford, as the centre has no fixed fee.

With monthly operating expenses of approximately 72–100 million VND, covering food, utilities, medical care, and other essential needs, the centre faces ongoing financial challenges.

In previous years, CVBF was grateful to help repair the cracked foundation and provide bunk beds for the girls’ sleeping quarters. More recently, Sister Ceci Ái Diểm reached out to us with another heartfelt request for help with the leaking roofs, school supplies, and uniforms.

Thanks to the kindness and generosity of our supporters, CVBF is currently providing school uniforms for the children. Each child receives two sets, and some receive three, consisting of T-shirts and shorts. These simple but essential gifts mean the children now have clean, comfortable clothes to wear.

Our next priority is to help replace the old, leaking corrugated metal roofs. A safe, dry, and sheltered space is essential for the children to study, learn, rest, and participate in their daily activities, especially during the rainy season.

On behalf of the sisters and all the children at Hưng Đông Centre, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Children of Vietnam Benevolent Foundation, our generous supporters, and our dedicated volunteers for your continued love, kindness, and generosity.

Please join us in bringing hope and comfort to these children by helping us raise the funds needed to replace the leaking roofs. Together, we can provide them with a safer place to learn, grow, and build a brighter future.

Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference. Thank you for standing alongside these children and the sisters who care for them with such devotion. ❤️

Mỹ Lâm School Learning Centre for Children with Disabilities – Kiên Giang, Vietnam

Founded in 1994 by Father Joseph Nguyễn Văn Việt, with the dedicated support of the Sisters, Mỹ Lâm School Learning Centre has been a loving home for children with disabilities, including those who are deaf, have speech impairments, or are autistic. For more than 30 years, the centre has nurtured these children with love, care, education, and hope.

Last year, thanks to the extraordinary kindness and generosity of Mr. Tom Inglis, in loving memory of his beloved wife, Suzanne Inglis, the Children of Vietnam Benevolent Foundation (CVBF) was able to fully fund a Psychomotor Therapy Room at Mỹ Lâm, creating a special space where children can play, learn, develop their abilities, and grow with confidence.

This past March, during her visit to Vietnam, our supporter, Ms. Liên, joined CVBF volunteer representatives Mr. Thanh Trúc, Ms. Thùy Linh, and Mr. Nam to purchase and deliver essential supplies, including rice, eggs, noodles, seasonings, and snacks. They also spent precious time with the children, watched the children learn and visited the therapy room, where they were delighted to see the children enjoying the space.

Nothing warms our hearts more than seeing the children's happy smiles as they play and learn together. This beautiful project is a lasting gift of love and compassion, honouring Suzanne's memory through the lives it continues to touch.

The Sisters, staff, children, and parents of Mỹ Lâm School Learning Centre extend their heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Tom Inglis, the late Ms. Suzanne Inglis, our generous supporters, and dedicated volunteers. They send their warmest wishes and promise to remember everyone in their daily prayers.

From all of us at CVBF, thank you for helping bring joy, hope, and brighter possibilities into these children's lives. ❤️

Together, we share love, nurture hope, and create opportunities for a brighter future.

Sharing Love, Hope, and the Gift of Education ❤️

Through the kindness and generosity of Five Islands RV Campground in Nova Scotia, the Children of Vietnam Benevolent Foundation (CVBF) has been able to provide 61 scholarships to deserving students in Vietnam.

For the 2025–2026 school year, 47 scholarships were awarded in Cần Thơ to 39 junior high school students, 3 high school students, and 6 university students. In Sài Gòn and Huế, another 14 university scholarships were granted.

These scholarships ease the financial burden of education while encouraging students to persevere and pursue a brighter future.

At CVBF, we believe every child deserves equal educational opportunities. Education is a powerful path to breaking the cycle of poverty and building a happier, more meaningful life.

We are deeply grateful to Five Islands RV Campground for continuing this journey with us. Your generosity is making a real difference, helping disadvantaged students stay in school and pursue their dreams.

The students feel truly blessed and grateful for your love and support. Your kindness gives them encouragement and hope for the future.

Together, we are helping students build a future filled with hope, dignity, and opportunity.

From all of us at CVBF, and especially from the students whose lives you have touched, thank you, Five Islands RV Campground, for your generosity and compassion. ❤️

Thanks to your continued kindness, generosity, and support, the Children of Vietnam Benevolent Foundation (CVBF) was able to help the children at Cơ Sở Bảo Trợ Xã Hội Mái Ấm Tình Mẹ Kinh 7B (Mother's Love Shelter 7B) in Kiên Giang Province, Vietnam.

The shelter is home to 49 children, ranging in age from 2 to 17 years old. Four dedicated sisters and five caregivers work tirelessly to provide the children with loving care, guidance, and a safe place to grow.

During her recent trip back to Vietnam, Ms. Liên, one of our valued CVBF supporters from Canada, joined our local CVBF volunteer representatives, Mr. Thanh Trúc, Ms. Thùy Linh, and Mr. Nam, to purchase and deliver essential supplies on behalf of our foundation and supporters. These included rice, noodles, cooking seasonings, meats, snacks, shampoo, and personal hygiene products. They also had the opportunity to meet the children and share our love and care with them in person.

Every delivery is more than just supplies. It is a reminder to these children that they are remembered, cared for, and supported by a compassionate community, even from thousands of miles away.

A New School Year, A New Need

As the 2026–2027 school year begins, Sister Sương has shared another important need with us. The shelter's old desktop computer has broken down, leaving the children without adequate equipment to complete their school assignments.

The shelter urgently needs three desktop computer sets for the children to share, helping them complete their homework, develop their computer skills, and access educational resources. In today's digital world, access to computers is an important part of their learning and future opportunities.

We invite our generous supporters and friends to join us once again. Together, we can help provide these children with the tools they need to learn, grow, and build a brighter future. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to making this possible.

The children and sisters at Mother's Love Shelter 7B send their heartfelt thanks to CVBF, our generous supporters, and our dedicated volunteers. They are deeply grateful for your love and kindness and feel truly blessed to have you standing beside them. They will continue to keep everyone in their daily prayers.

From all of us at CVBF, thank you for helping us bring hope, dignity, and opportunity to children who need it most. Your kindness reminds them that they are never forgotten and that a caring community is always there for them.

Together, we can make a difference—one child, one act of kindness, and one brighter future at a time. ❤️

Mai Am Thien An Orphanage – Cần Thơ

Mai Am Thien An Orphanage is located in Bình Thủy, Cần Thơ, near the Mekong Delta River, just outside the city centre and about halfway to the airport. The area is relatively remote, and the road leading to Thien An is very narrow.

The orphanage operates in a borrowed facility—land and a building provided by a Vietnamese American who now lives in the United States. It is privately operated and receives no government assistance.

Since 2004, Ms. Yen (Rose), the director of Thien An, has devoted her life to caring for children in difficult circumstances. She welcomes children as young as a few months old and provides them with a safe and loving home until they are 18 and ready to live independently.

Today, 50 children call Thien An home, ranging in age from 19 months to 19 years old. Twenty-five are orphans, while the other 25 come from broken families, have lost one or both parents, or come from extremely poor families who have sought help from Thien An.

At Thien An, these children receive much more than shelter. They are provided with food, education, medical care, clothing, and, most importantly, a loving family and a sense of belonging.

For several years, the Children of Vietnam Benevolent Foundation (CVBF) has supported Thien An with essential food and personal necessities, hot meals, clothing, shoes, tables and chairs, bicycles, and school supplies such as textbooks, notebooks, and backpacks.

Supporting a New School Year

As the 2026–2027 school year begins, the children face significant expenses for health insurance, accident insurance, textbooks, school uniforms, and school supplies.

This year, CVBF is helping Thien An cover the cost of Medical and Dental Health Insurance (BHYT) for 26 children who attend school, providing one year of coverage and helping ensure that these children can access necessary healthcare without adding another financial burden to the orphanage.

Thank you to our generous supporters, near and far, for your love, kindness, and generosity. Your support helps give these children not only the essentials they need today, but also hope and opportunities for a brighter tomorrow.
