Dear VSO Friends,
After 14 years of dedicated service supporting the Sisters of the Miraculous Medal, children, and impoverished communities in Kontum, Vietnam, we write to share that Children of VSO will conclude its mission and formally close on December 31,
2025.
Until then, we will continue directing our remaining funds toward community projects, ensuring that every resource entrusted to us is used for the good of those we serve.
Your steadfast prayers, generosity, and encouragement have carried us through this incredible journey. Together, we have accomplished so much—and for that, we are deeply and eternally grateful.
This decision has not come easily. Several factors, including ongoing health challenges among our team and their families, have made it increasingly difficult to devote the time and energy required for fundraising and administration. After much reflection and prayer, we believe this is the right moment to bring our organization’s chapter to a close.
Though our mission is ending, our connection to the Sisters and the children remains unbroken. We will continue to visit them individually whenever possible, and they will always remain in our prayers. We warmly invite you to keep them in yours as well.
Since our beginning in 2011 with a small group of volunteers from Boise, Idaho, we have been blessed with unforgettable experiences, lifelong friendships, and countless moments of joy with the children we’ve served.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your friendship, generosity, and unwavering support. Your compassion has left a lasting legacy in Kontum—one that will continue to uplift lives long after our mission concludes.
With deepest gratitude,
Children of VSO
