Expansion in the midst of difficulty

As with the butterfly difficult times can bring beauty.

Formula Project

Recently we restarted a formula project in an orphanage we had partnered with 7 years ago. Some of their children were having nutritional issues so they contacted us for help. Lydia, one of our staff, is overseeing this restart. Despite the strict COVID-19 restrictions that do not allow visitors, the orphanage has allowed her to visit but she must stay for a week at a time. She is training the staff how to feed children with eating issues, how to develop diets for children that are malnourished and the importance of good nutrition in the early years.

The orphanage director is very impressed with her and called us to thank us for sending her. This restart has added 22 children to the formula project.

Savannah Project

Seeing the difference in the development of the children in our project versus the children in the orphanage project, the director approached us about expanding our project and taking all their children 8 years old and younger. We have already brought 3 new children into the project and over the next couple of months we will bring the other children in 3 at a time. For each addition of 3 new children, we need to first train the staff that will be caring for them. We will continue this cycle until the balance of the children have entered the project.

The first three children that joined the Savannah project are David, Madeline and Tyler. Please join us in welcoming them. We are excited to see how they begin to blossom over the next couple of months.

The three new children that joined the Savannah project were named by former New Day graduates. Charity, Thomas, and Daniel were thrilled with this opportunity and took it seriously.

Our prayer is that David, Madeline and Tyler will be blessed with wonderful forever families like Charity, Thomas and Daniel were.

VIETNAM

Vietnam continues to experience a violent outbreak of Covid-19. (Prior to May of this year, the country had experienced an amazingly low 4,000 total cases. In the four months since, that number has grown to well over 500,000!) In our host city, the government has responded by implementing strict lock down measures, ‘stay at home’ orders and travel restrictions. We are continuing to support a small group of families whose children have been hospitalized long-term, but otherwise children are no longer able to travel to the hospital for surgeries and other medical care during this time.

Those most in need in Vietnam at this time are the low income and migrant workers, many of whom have been unemployed for over three months now and stranded away from home in various shelters and dwellings due to the ‘stay at home’ orders and travel restrictions. For a growing number, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find food and meet the basic needs of their families.

Over the last month, our local staff has been aiding such workers and families in one outlying district of Ho Chi Minh City. For approximately $22 USD, we can provide enough food to sustain a household for a week. To date, we have distributed approximately 800 “care packages” and hope to continue until the lock down measures are lifted and we are able to resume our regular medical support programs.
