June 2010 – Special Kindness – Scholarships – For Our Orphans
THIS IS THE STORY OF TOTAL KINDNESS FROM DEBI GOLDSMITH
by Dennis Edwards
This beautiful lady, Debi, was so taken by my story regarding the Orphans in Vietnam that she decided to sponsor a child. A few weeks later she wanted to sponsor another child! Then out of the blue one night at our local RSL Debi came to me and said, 'Dennis I want you to accept this donation from me. I want you to give it to the Orphans. I feel I need to help in some way.'
She slipped an envelope in my hand which, to my total surprise when I got home and opened the envelope, I found $1,000 from this beautiful angel. I was gob smacked and forever grateful, but I can tell you that this money was instrumental in helping Suong's family, as well as assisting a whole Pagoda combat total poverty.
My dear angel of mercy, your one thousand dollars purchased eight (8) pushbikes, which will enable Suong's dad to get to his various fields, which are spread all over the place. Plus, it will enable the family's children to travel to school.
In addition, it purchased a life line in the form of a Wi Fi device for the Kim Son Pagoda which will link them with the world of learning and education. Finally, it paid for the food for three (3) months for an entire Pagoda which will enable the 68 children from the Phat BUU Pagoda to eat and survive.
