"The Door to the Future" - Bringing hope to disabled, orphaned and disadvantaged children

In the early summer days, in the hot sun, we visited and encouraged families with orphaned children in Son Dong district who were in difficult circumstances. When we arrived, we could feel the determination of these families, they accepted a life of deprivation but were determined not to give up, persevering in raising their children and grandchildren and still hoping that one day in the near future, their children and grandchildren would have a better life.
