Blankets
Family with no blanket
The homes of our students in Lang Son are often literally just 4 walls and a roof, without even any glass or barriers in the windows. When it gets really cold, some have makeshift wooden shutters they put up. A big necessity for many of our children are large warm blankets which they often share with siblings or their parents. In the winters, the temperature is regularly below 50 degrees Fahrenheit without adding the mountain windchill.
Would you like to buy a blanket for these children and others like them? $20 buys a large blanket for a student in Lang Son!

We recently gave 20 blankets to the 20 poorest students, 20 out of 160 students identified by the school as extremely impoverished. Please help more children stay warm!
Bicycles

$55 purchases a new bike for a rural child to get to school. Some of our students walk 2 hours a day getting to and going from school. When a child receives a bicycle, they use it until they graduate from 5th grade. Then the school will give the bike to a younger student. Having a bike to ride makes a big difference in school attendance.
Right now it’s only a dream for some of our students to have a bike for school. Would you like to help make a child’s dream come true?
Books
Books for school
Many of the children at Tan Lien primary school have never read a story. They go through their workbooks in class and learn to read. They are eager to have books!
Make an impact with a gift that will be read many times by many children.
Soccer Balls and Playground Toys
Toys for school
The children in our Lang Son Program have very little opportunity to just be kids. Our students do not have toys. We would like to buy a few soccer balls, jump ropes, kites and other playground toys for the students. These are not very expensive- a $10 donation will bring some big smiles! Please put fun in our Fund!
