School Materials Distribution

As we do every year, L.O.V.E. was delighted to provide school materials to children in our sponsorship program this July. More than 160 packages were delivered directly to students and their siblings, helping them prepare for the new school year with greater confidence and excitement.  Each package included essential school supplies such as textbooks, notebooks and stationery, school uniforms, and helmets. Seeing the children’s bright smiles as they received their new school materials was truly heartwarming. We hope these little gifts will encourage them to study well, enjoy their school days, and keep moving forward toward their dreams.

 ð  There are still many children from disadvantaged families waiting for a helping hand. You can learn more about their profiles here.

RECENT HOPE FUND ACTIVITIES

Meals & Gifts for Children in Mountainous Areas

 This summer, LOVE sent help to several churches in poor and remote mountainous communities across Central Vietnam to support their Summer Bible Camp for children. The support included gifts of sweets and small wristwatches, as well as funding for nutritious meals for ethnic minority children attending the camps.

Around 1,000 gifts were distributed, bringing countless smiles and indescribable joy to the children. For many of them, school is far from home, so they spend the whole day there. Their meals are often very simple, sometimes only plain rice or dry bread. This support gave them the opportunity to enjoy a proper meal, receive learning materials, and take part in age-appropriate Bible activities in a joyful and caring environment.

For children in remote and mountainous communities, opportunities like this are especially meaningful. Beyond the gifts and meals, the program provides a safe place for them to learn, connect with others, and feel encouraged and cared for.

In addition, we donated 50 gifts containing sweets, small wristwatches and notebooks to CIFA (Center for International Foreign Affairs). In cooperation with local police, these gifts were given to disadvantaged students who are working hard to overcome their difficult circumstances in Bac Tra My.

 We are deeply grateful to all the generous donators whose kindness has made these activities possible.

House Repairs

This summer, thanks to a generous donation from Barnabas Aid, LOVE was able to provide house repair support to two ethnic minority families living in the mountainous areas of Quang Ngai.

 For one family of four, part of their house had been damaged by a landslide, making daily life unsafe. The damaged area was repaired with a solid, level concrete floor, along with a new bamboo fence.

The other family had been living in a dark, damp, and unstable wooden house. Their home has now been rebuilt with stronger materials. It may not be the most beautiful house, but it is safe, warm, and much more comfortable for the family as they prepare for the coming rainy season.

MY FAMILY:

I live with my mother and two brothers. After my father passed away a few years ago, my mother became the sole breadwinner, responsible for all our living expenses and school fees. She works as a farmer, which is physically demanding and provides a very unstable income. My eldest brother works at a small woodworking workshop, but his income is only enough to support himself. Life has been very difficult for our family, yet my mother continues to work tirelessly every day so that my younger brother and I can stay in school and hold on to hope for a better future.

MY STUDY:

After this summer, I will be a third-year student majoring in E-Commerce. I always study hard and strive to improve myself because I hope to become a Sales Executive in the future and earn a stable income to support my family. However, tuition fees and living expenses are quite high, and my family is struggling to cover these costs. I sincerely hope to receive sponsorship so that I can fully concentrate on my studies without placing an additional burden on my family. Your support would mean a great deal to me and give me the opportunity to continue my education and work toward achieving my goals.
