Praise the Lord for the recent fundraiser and auction for COPI (Nov. 7, 2009) at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, Sandy, UT which raised approximately $45,000 to support children at risk in Vietnam!
Money was raised to provide:
- 7 college scholarships for one year ($200 x 7)
- 250 scholarships for indigenous children ($35 x 250)
- 20 scholarships for girls to attend boarding school in Sapa ($100 x 20)
- Support for K'Hor community for one year ($2500)
- Support for local Vietnamese medical mission team ($200 x 10 trips)
- 50 Scholarships for Pediatric nurses to study English (50 x $25)
- 15 industrial sewing machines for Hanoi Vocational School for disabled students (15 x $250)
Additional support went to the children at Compassionate Home in Van Giao, Nam Dinh. An orphanage in Van Giao was built to accommodate the children who lose their parents to the yearly floods.
