Learning a trade at the Blessing Motorcycle Wash and oil change Center.

"The one who is the greatest is the one who is the servant and sees the value of children." Mark 9: 35 – 37

This summer we have been working to help at-risk children in Da Nang City. Da Nang has a population of over one million people, many of whom live in poverty.

Through our partner ministry, OP has been helping street kids and other poor children in the Blessing Motorcycle Wash and oil change Center. How's THAT for a business name? We are providing help and support to 8 boys who are a part of this program. They are; Nam. 17, Sang, 21, Duong, 26, Dat, 12, Thoung 13, Hieu, 13, Tai, 14, and Tan, 17. OP is providing food, vocational training and more to help these young men gain the ability to support themselves.

We are also helping provide 18 to 20 bicycles a month to help poor youth attend school for vocational training. OP is involved in helping youths learn skills in various shops learning retail skills and others are working to learn various trade skills. Bicycles are a main mode of transportation in Viet-Nam, and many boys are learning how to repair and build bicycles as a trade.

Helping critically ill children.

Some other projects include:

• Helping to care for over 100 critically ill children in Da Nang and Cam Le District Hospitals. They are provided with food, medicine, and their hospital stay.

• Helping to provide scholarships, emergency relief. Building repair, church support school uniforms and much, much more to needy and deserving kids in Vietnam.

As summer passes, needs continue and in some cases, increase. Please keep the children of Vietnam in your prayers as well as the children we serve in His name throughout the world. There are thousands of spiritual opportunities as we witness by our work.

Basic transportation needs are met.

May God bless you for your continued support for Orphans Promise and those we serve.
