[Charity Activity round 4] Ha Cau Orphanage – Hanoi

On October 30th 2011, JYJFamily Vietnam paid a visit and played with children at Ha Cau Orphanage (Ha Cau Center for Homeless Children). This is also the 4th Charity Activity held by JYJfamily Vietnam.

The Ha Cau Center for Homeless Children is located in the town of Ha Dong, which is about 15km from the center of Hanoi Capital. It is a non-governmental center that was founded in 1997 and is home to approximately sixty orphans and five teachers and caretakers. It houses three types of orphans: those who lost both their parents, those who lost one parent and cannot be supported by the other, and those whose parents are alive, but stricken by disease and incapable of taking care of the child. The orphans’ ages range from five to twenty.

We had donated some necessaries (equivalent to 1 million VND, approximately 48USD) and 2 million VND (approximately 96USD) for Ha Cau Center.

Let’s take a look at our activity:

The activity was held on Sunday so children there had a free time to join with us. Therefore, we had a chance to talk and play with them easily. Helped by staff at the center, everything was ready for us to organize.

Mrs. Ninh - Director of the Center introduced us so that we could chat and made friend with each other easily. Mrs. Ninh is like a grandmother whom children at the center always love and respect.

We had a great time to played with children at the center. So many fun games was held with the enthusiastic participation of Ha Cau orphaned children, especially little boys.

In the end, Mrs.Ninh, on behalf of the Center received our gifts.

The program ended happily, leaving impressions and memories to each member. We wish all staff at Ha Cau Center good health and love to raise the children and we hope that the children will stay healthy and have a good result in studying.
