Hope is wishing things will turn out for best and there will be a positive outcome. Many poor children in Vietnam don't have that sense of hope.
Maybe you are drawn to the child whose family works so hard yet still can't provide the meager funds required to attend school.
You can provide them hope.
Maybe you are drawn to the child who desperately needs heart surgery to survive but whose family is too poor to afford the expense. So they just wait, and wait, and wait.
You can provide them hope.
Maybe you are drawn to the child who may go blind if they don't receive sight-saving eye surgery.
You can provide them hope.
Will you reach deep into your heart and see if you can find a way to provide a seed of hope for a child?

School Sponsorship
2011-1012
The end of the school year is almost upon us and we are already planning for the children in the Kieng Phuoc schools for the 2011-2012 school year. You can give the gift of education to a child as well as support a project for the entire school with just a $50 donation for the year.
This is a great opportunity to get children involved! We have some families whose children fund raise in their local communities or ask for donations to Paul's Kids in lieu of birthday gifts. They find it very rewarding and enjoy corresponding with the children they sponsor in Vietnam.
Sponsorship donations for the 2011-2012 school year can be made until June 15th (to allow for enough time for school officials to notify families). Additional donations to support school-wide projects are gladly accepted any time of the year.

Homeland Tours

Some families have expressed interest in traveling back to Vietnam with Paul to experience the Vietnamese culture with their children, enjoy some sight-seeing, and also volunteer for Paul's Kids.
We would like to start planning soon for a homeland tour in 2012. If you or someone you know might be interested please send an e-mail to heather@paulskids.org by August 31, 2011.

Many thanks to all those who donated items for the silent auction and everyone's help to make this annual event a great success.
