THANK YOU

VietACT and I, personally,
would like to thank those who generously donated supplies/funds to the survivors at the shelter. Today is my first art class with them and I am so excited to tell them that the materials they are using were from kind people in the States, who have learned about the injustices happening in this area of the world.




Our sincere thanks goes out to the following people and groups:

ANDREW PHAN
DOAN K NGUYEN
HAI CHAN TRAN
TRANNHAI THI NGUYEN
LUC V NGUYEN

I transported 100 lbs of supplies on my flight,









and the other 100 lbs will be coming to Taiwan in September thanks to another generous volunteer. I could not be doing this work without your support.

Justice for all,

Thanks Michael! Your money bought them water colors that they used last week to paint the Chinese zodiac animals of their birthdays. Pretty tight...
