Tet at the Suoi Cat Charity Home

** All the below content and photos were extracted from the Lovingkindness Vietnam website.

¨In January 2020 we made our final Tet visit to the Suoi Cat Charity Home to celebrate the lunar new year. We brought some essential supplies for the home that included cooking oil and a new juicer. The girls gathered in the common room and clapped and sang songs. Our team then handed out traditional red envelopes of lucky money to all the children. Everyone then got bags of traditional Tet food and goodies to take home to their family. Finally, we handed out packages of new clothes so the girls can welcome the new year in a new outfit. Some of the girls made speeches saying thank you, and our team stayed and visited for a while as the children had their noonday meal. A lovely visit!

This visit was made possible through a donation from the BEI Foundation. Thank you!!!

BEI teacher training - Baku October 2019

Ms. Fidan Suleymanova of SOS Azerbaijan kindly contributed the following notes:

'On October, 29 - November, 02 Dr. Reeta Sonawat delivered one more training for teachers in Baku, Azerbaijan on the topic 'Transforming Human Behaviour and Development'. The training was conducted with the funding support of the B.E.I. Foundation in the framework of Public Education Support Project. Thus, 17 teachers and pedagogical staff of SOS Children's Villages Azerbaijan have benefited from the training. The topics covered were chosen in accordance with the teachers´ requests following their last training in January, 2019.

 
Teachers play a vital role in the development of children and their brain. One of the main aims of Public Education Support Project is to empower teachers, so they could provide quality education for the children, deprived of parental care and children in vulnerable conditions. All teachers participated in the discussions, role plays and case studies. The topics covered, such as mindfulness, emotional intelligence, empathy, whole language approach, transformation of individuals towards education, and theories of Freud, Vygotsky and Gardner -- were of great interest to the participants.
 
We are looking forward to hold more trainings in the coming future by our dear Dr. Reeta Sonawat!'

School Supplies and Books for the Suoi Dau Charity Home - Aug´ 2019

(Text and photos extracted from Loving Kindness Vietnam website)

On August 29, 2019 we visited the Suoi Dau Charity Home with lots of school supplies for the upcoming school year. Located in the Suoi Dau district to the southwest of Nha Trang, the Suoi Dau Charity Home is a loving place that houses and cares for many of the community’s young boys whose families struggle to support and provide for them. The children stay at the facility year-round, sleep in dormitories, and have meals together. The caretakers provide a nurturing environment and ensure the children attend school, which is a core part of their mission. Without this home, these boys would likely follow the unfortunate pattern of many other children in this rural area and drop out of school at a young age. The amazing caretakers of this charity home ensure these children have a safe and nurturing place to grow up, receive an education, and break the cycle of poverty.
Following our commitment to education, we asked the caretakers what they needed for the 2019-2020 school year. With a detailed list in hand, we bought everything the children would need, and organized a visit. We brought all the textbooks the children will need for school, school supplies, backpacks, and some supplies for the Home. The children helped carry everything into the courtyard, then we brought out a special surprise. We had an ice cream vendor drive his truck out to the home, and the children gathered around as they got scoops of yummy ice cream to enjoy on a hot day. Lots of fun!
Sponsoring the children’s education was made possible through a donation from the BEI Foundation.
Thank you!!!

Anniversary Celebration and a Fun Visit at the Thien Tam Orphanage

(Source: Loving Kindness Vietnam website)

On July 21, 2019 we visited the Thien Tam Orphanage to celebrate their anniversary. Thien Tam is a loving home to a small group of orphans, located just south of Nha Trang. The caretakers have spent 15 years running the orphanage, and the local church put on an anniversary party for the orphans and the caretakers. They set up a stage, gave speeches, and the children performed a dance they had learned in school. It was a lovely celebration!
After returning to the orphanage, our team brought lots of essential supplies and foodstuff to the orphanage. We brought bags of rice, packages of instant noodles, milk, eggs, bags of bean varieties, packages of seasonings, bottles of fish sauce, bottles of soy sauce, canned meats, cooking oil, packages of yogurt, and a fruity treat for the children.
The children were finishing their studies while our team brought all the supplies into the common room. Afterwards, the children helped carry everything into the kitchen. Our team then brought out packages of the yummy fruit snack, che, and the children sat in the dining hall and enjoyed their snack.
This visit was made possible through a donation from the BEI Foundation.
Thank you!!!
