| July - a month of activities |
July is a very busy month for LOVE’s team. In addition to meeting with our sponsored children in the locations and giving out the sponsorships and extra gifts, we distributed almost 230 new sets of texbooks, uniform materials and tailor fees to all sponsored children and siblings. The uniform can be an “ao dai” for high school girls or a pair of navy pants and a white shirt for the others in all levels. Besides, we have almost finished the sponsored children’s annual photos and reports and sent to our dear patrons. Apart from that, LOVE delivered many gifts including toothbrushes, pencils, pens, and soaps donated by Vuong Nhi’s sponsor and her friend to the poor children in our program this month. Last but not least, we visited new families who have been referred to us by churches, schools, other governmental groups and individuals. |
Let’s now scroll down to look at our activities! |
Textbooks & Uniforms are two very basic and essential things for a student to enter into a new school-year in Vietnam. Our sponsored children are those who have a very poor and needy family background. In the past, many would have bought old used uniforms or borrowed money to get a new one and the same with textbooks. Many would have gone to school with no textbooks but from their first days of the sponsorship many things have dramatically been changed in their lives. Below shows a few of the 230 happy and grateful students who have received the monthly stipends, books and uniforms given by their sponsors. |

One of the benefits for our sponsored children is that both they and their siblings yearly receive books, uniforms and tailor fees before a new school year. |

but also their parents. Single mothers and single fathers, including their relatives, have been extremely overjoyed with the generosity given by our sponsors because many of their scholastic financial burdens have been lifted. |

| We will give the Texbooks and Uniforms to those who are moving up to the 10th grade in the month of August after we know their exam results. HOPE AND PRAY FOR THEM ALL FOR A SUCCESSFUL NEW SCHOOL-YEAR WITH GOOD ACHIEVEMENT! |

| We were happy to see their happy smiles Many big thanks to our LORD & all the sponsors and donors for your support to help transform many Vietnamese children’s lives. |
Sponsor a child give them a chance! July is our big month to visit. Nearly 30 new children were referred to us and LOVE’s staff made a point to visit every home to evaluate their status and needs. It is true to say that the first three weeks of the month we often witness much joy and happiness from the many faces of our sponsored children and their relatives when they come to receive the monthly stipend and the extra gifts. But then the last week of the month, there is sadness, weariness and burden in our hearts when we are on the field visiting new applications. As you are well aware there are so many poor and needy children and families out there needing our sponsorship. Below are pictures of some of the new families visited in July. |
