San Jose Rotary Club

October 2nd, 2018

With a generous grant from the Rotary Club of San Jose, in October 2018 VNHelp purchased and installed 10 water treatment systems at 10 elementary schools in Nam Dinh Province targeting areas where water is contaminated and unsafe to drink.  The clean water provided by the systems benefits 5,150 students, nearly 200 teachers and school staff during school days as it is safe to drink and free of water-borne diseases, and will help to improve overall health in the communities. Additionally, this project will reduce the financial burden for low-income parents who have to buy bottled water for their children every day, as well as the amount of discarded bottle wastes.

Change a Life this Season of Giving

Dear Friends,

The past few months were filled with excitement and gratefulness. You came to VNHelp with open arms and noble hearts, helping us help the disadvantaged, sponsoring orphans, building schools and bridges, providing folks with clean water, sending scholarship to poor college students, and more.

The 23rd Mùa Thu Cho Em in September was a warm, successful concert both musically and emotionally. Over 1,800 guests attended the concert in Northern CA and Southern CA. KIND Gala 2017 “Oh La La Paris” in November was a vibrant, Paris-spirited night that will be impossible for the 300 guests to forget. We would like to thank you – concert / gala attendees, volunteers and donors – for making it happen. You are the reason VNHelp continues to grow in the USA  throughout the last 26 years.

Our thanks in November went to the generous sponsors of KIND Gala:

Share our happiness with others and change a life

The winter holiday season is arriving with the coming of Christmas and the New Year. We are beginning to smell Christmas in the air, see Christmas in the shopping malls, and hear Christmas on radio stations. During this Season of Giving, we would like to remind ourselves that there are orphans to be loved and disadvantaged folks in need.

We have set up a website to show specific cases of the orphans in need of a sponsor as well as to allow you to make a contribution to support these children.

The orphans you can impact!

Please also read the heartbreaking life stories of some individuals who are selected by VNHelp among many needy people. We can change their lives with a one-time donation.

The lives you can change!

We hope you will give a life-changing gift during this holiday season and help us invite your friends to do the same. Your donation can become a meaningful holiday gift as VNHelp can issue a Donation Certificate to honor your loved ones. Please join us and sponsor a person in Vietnam today!
