Love Of Vietnam Expressed

NEWSLETTER

www.loveofvn.org

We feel challenged by God to reach out to a community of poor in a remote area of Vietnam. Upon contacting one of the leaders there, he writes, “I am deeply concerned for 20 children whose families don’t have enough food and clothes and  9 old people who are living alone. In addition, we have five people who are single mother raising children ,

7 who are handicapped and 2 mentally ill people. There are also a lot of needy and illness families and Agent Orange victims in this poor and remote area of Vietnam.

I am really happy to hear that you are going to do something for the poor areas

in this Christmas and Tet holidays to show God’s love and I am so thankful to God for answering my prayers”.

After surveying and discussing the needs we estimate that there are at least 200 food gifts we want to help , L.O.V.E has decided to do the mission for this area in the middle of December

and we need help from supporters so that many more and meaningful things

are added to the gifts on the occasion of Christmas, a time of giving, serving and sharing the joy.

We would like to raise at least $3,000, $15 for each basket, including food and necessary personal items . If you can help, please click here to make a donation to L.O.V.E for any amount, for mission, by PayPal or check as soon as possible.

We realize how these food gifts had touched people's lives, how ready they were for a good news, how much they wanted to feel hopeful again. We have had a worldwide economic downturn, and people are confused, fearful but the poor, they have experienced hunger, persecution, illiteracy, nakedness, and despair and just so ready for a good news.  They want to feel reassured that all the things we value, all our beliefs about a good Shepherd and love still exist.

HOPE FUND OPERATED ACTIVELY FROM AUGUST TO OCTOBER

The sheer delight and happiness on the many faces of the orphans and poor children in remote areas as they receive Brighter lives study gifts is so heartwarming

Each gift includes milk, confectionery, a schoolbag, notebooks and school supplies.

L.O.V.E extend our warmest gratitude to you for your great support through Brighter Lives gifts

to the many orphans and poor ethnic and Kinh children in remote areas.

Your kindness will have a meaningful impact on their lives,and we are deeply appreciative

of your compassion and dedication to make a change in their futures.

In the past months, some ethnic students who are eager to learn have received HOPE scholarships to cover school fees, boarding fee and some other children received tuitions, school supplies and extra food.

HOPE Scholarship  (200$/a year) is a scholarship for poor and orphaned children, living in remote mountainous areas in Vietnam, who cannot pay tuition and fees at the beginning of the school year to be able to continue studying.  Most of them are students in remote mountainous areas, do not participate in extra classes, and are at high risk of dropping out of school for many different reasons. One of the main reasons

is the issue of tuition fees.

Besides, there are many poor ethnic children who are facing dropping out of school halfway and an uncertain future. To help children and their families have a warm ray of hope and motivation to rise in life,

a sponsorship is highly recommended.

L.O.V.E calls on the benefactors around the world to join with us in the HOPE fund to provide scholarships to the children.

Supporting food

and essential items for impoverished ethnic families and lonely families.

Besides education, medical care is also a field that L.O.V.E has given support for many years. One of our outstanding short-term projects is the Medicine Cabinets located in churches

in rugged mountainous areas, where mainly poor ethnic minorities live.

Thereby, they can use some basic and essential pharmaceuticals in their daily lives

without paying any fees - something that most people here cannot afford.

We are in need of your contributions so that the Medicine Cabinet project can run continuously, reach further and bring timely relief to ethnic families. The current treatment needs of these people are mainly fever, cough, runny nose, headache and stomachache.

To donate to the Medicine Cabinet project and/or pharmaceuticals, please visit L.O.V.E's donate page and note the donation amount for "Medical Cabinet Support".

SPONSORS NEEDED

Right now, there is a needy child living in poverty who is waiting for a caring person like you.

We have many children who need sponsors.

PLEASE HELP!

Share your love and faith!

This child urgently needs a sponsor who will support her for $30 a month

or the whole family for $50 a month, and will pray for her, write and encourage her.
