Checking in at Khai Tri (November 2010)

Library Chuck visited Khai Tri Orphanage three times in less than twelve months (Dec 2009, April 2010 & October 2010).

During my November 2010 visit to Khai Tri we continued to hear that many of the donations (for example cash, personal and school supplies) are not going to the kids. Also, on April 15th the An Giang newspaper published an article with very serious issues that appear to still be under investigation.

Storage Room @ Khai Tri Orphanage OVERFLOWING with Donations

During our December 2009 visit to Khai Tri we were pleased to see all of the extra supplies they had. We heard that all of the donations are not going to the kids so we are interested in learning more before giving more.

Santa Visits Khai Tri Orphanage for an Early Christmas Party

The Khai Tri Kids had a great time with Santa earlier today when Santa visited the kids with Library Project of Vietnam & Rotary Club of Winnekta Northfield who sponsored this Christmas party. We had wonderful support and help from the community who brought amble food for the 160 hungry kids.

Kids Reading in Library

We have been in An Giang province for a few days and stopped by Khai Tri this afternoon. Everything seems peaceful. One class was in session; the older kids were at the public school; a group of kids were watching a movie; a few kids were resting.

We noticed that the library door was open and about 15 kids were reading.

We also talked to the new Principle and assistant running the school and told them that Library Chuck is planning on visiting on Dec 2nd to give the kids a Christmas Party.

Memo of Understanding

The equivalent of a contract in Vietnam is an M.O.U.
