DOUBLE JOY IN JULY

As in previous years, in the middle of July, we sent to all the sponsored children

meaningful gifts for the new school year.

Each gift includes textbooks, uniforms and school supplies.

The children came on time, full of excitement.

They are extremely grateful to the sponsors for this great help

so that they can have better learning conditions.

Also in July, we returned to visit the sponsored children

in the remote mountainous region of Bac Tra My.

Gifts for the new school year were also hand-delivered to the children.

Overwhelming joy is something that cannot be hidden on the faces of children.

Thank you to our dear sponsors who have accompanied us and needy children over the years. You have generously helped families in need, as well as sent many meaningful gifts such as books and new uniforms to the children, helping them have a full and happy new school year. L.O.V.E is also glad to be the blessed bridge between you and the children, and together we have created many opportunities for children in Vietnam to continue their education and have a brighter future.

FLY WITH LOVE

Love continues to spread through the program FLY WITH LOVE, held for the 3rd time in a row.  This program was held on the afternoon of July 21, for the students who finished their sponsorships in the last school year, most of them will be graduating in the summer of 2023. This is a very special occasion for L.O.V.E. to say goodbye to them with best wishes.

The program started with an ice-breaking activity, when the students participated in a game of throwing balls into the cup to choose any drink including 4 flavors: salty, sweet, sour and bitter. There were many unexpected results, bringing the first small joys to the students.  The meaning of this activity is to encourage the students to always be ready for any upcoming situations in life, to overcome challenges and conquer successes.

After that, the students took a few minutes to write down their feelings, memories, and things they have really received during the last sponsorship period.  Many children said that besides the monthly stipend, things they appreciated the most were the love and care from the sponsors and the L.O.V.E.'s staff.

They also expressed their sincere gratitude to the sponsors for their support over the years and for having a close correspondence with them, so that they felt greatly supported physically and mentally.

After the quiz games, the students listened to Mr. Alan - the chairman of L.O.V.E about the reason the organization always strives to reach and support disadvantaged children in Vietnam. And Mr. Phuong - the representative of the organization also congratulated and wished them a future full of happiness, success and love.After the quiz games, the students listened to Mr. Alan - the chairman of L.O.V.E about the reason the organization always strives to reach and support disadvantaged children in Vietnam.

Life goes on, a new journey begins. Thank you, our dear sponsors! And special thank you to the G4kids' patrons and the leadership team.

NEED YOUR HELPING HAND!

Our very practical program called BRIGHTER LIVES, to provide study gift baskets and essential food to orphans and poor children in remote areas, needs your help with $15 for a basket.

We have called for nearly 100 learning gifts and have sent them from time to time to the children in the mountains in July and will continue in August and September if the fund for the project is further supported by your help.

We hope to be able to raise enough 300 gifts soon so that the needy children can have it before the start of the new school year.

If you help make these dreams come true, please email us or just put BRIGHTER LIVES with your Donation.  Every little bit helps. Your help is surely needed.

MY FAMILY:

We used to be a happy family with six members. Unfortunately, my father passed away a few years ago, leaving my mother to raise four children alone. My mother is often sick, but she always tries hard to make a living and take care of the family. Though my mother is the breadwinner in the house, she is just an unskilled labor with a precarious income. She earns money by doing cleaning work at construction, sometimes washing dishes at small food shops or cleaning houses for people. Therefore, it is beyond my mother's capacity to cover all our tuition fees and the family’s living costs. I do not know how long my mother can hold on.

MY STUDY:

My siblings and I are of school age and we all love studying. I am in grade 5 and my favorite subject is Math. My older sister and I often help my mother do household chores in our freetime. Sometimes, I wish I could take extra lessons or have some learning tools like my peers, but my mother cannot afford it. I am longing for your helping hand so that I can have a better education's condition since I know that education is the only way I can do the best now to escape poverty and chase after a brighter future for myself and my family. Please help me!
