On Sunday, October 17th, Joe and our dear friend Mrs. Thuy visited the Hoa Hung Orphanage. There are only 9 children now since Viet, Thu and Tien went back to live with their families, helping with their work.

The children of Hoa Hung were thrilled to see Joe. Mrs. Thuy visits them every Sunday an cooks a wonderful meal, providing an extra dose of protein. We are very happy to see that they are all happy and healthy!

LHP would like to inform our friends and supporters that the construction project at the Suan Luang Ethnic High School and Orphanage will not be completed. Due to Administrative difficulties, Lao-Kids together with Loving House Project decided to abort the project. LHP donated $1,000 USD to Lao-Kids and the funds will be used to provide food and some necessary medical treatment for the children.

Joe is finally in Laos and ready to start working on the Suan Luang Ethnic High School and Orphanage near Luan Prabang. Although we were a little short on our fund raising, we will still manage to achieve our goals!

LHP donated $5,000 USD to Lao-Kids to help build a kitchen, dining and food storage area to the High School/Orphanage. Construction starts tomorrow and Joe will be there to help and supervise the work.

LHP is also very happy to build Loving House Project No. 14 in Vietnam! Joe will be in My Tho on the 21st to supervise the construction of Ms. Pham Thi Tan Loving House. The total budget for this project will be $2,000 USD and we thank our friends at the Red Cross in Tien Giang Province for their assistance!

LHP will also extend the program “Protein for a Better Future” for the children of Hoa Hung Orphanage for 10 more months. LHP funds a special meal every week, loaded with protein, for the 12 children at Hoa Hung.

With this being said, we can only thank all of our supporters for their generous donations. Without your help, LHP would never be able to touch so many lives. Thank you and may God bless you all!
