Help The Poor organization, on April 10, 2007 handed the fund of 144 millions VND to the Buddist nun Thich Nu Minh Hai. This is part of a plan to help Tu An Pagoda build and upgrade its facilities for the orphans being raised here.

During the weeks before the Tet (Early February, 2007), Truc Lam scout group and Thien Chi group visited and distributed gifts at several centers for the handicapped, the lone elders and the lepers living in Saigon as well as Dong Nai province.

We believe that orphans and the handicapped need help to overcome challenges and to become productive  members of society.
