Our U.S. students and DELTA program students collaborated together to provide supplies for living and education to over 30 underprivileged children in Vietnam living in orphanages and temples. Our U.S. students raised money through a car wash and bake sales. Our DELTA students bought the supplies and also spent time cooking and playing with the children.

Execution team
Team 1: Visit Dieu Thang Temple
- Supervisor: Ms. Hang Tran
- A team consisting of eight Delta students in Di Linh reached ten children whose ages range from 7 to 14. They worked quickly to arrange meetings with representatives from the temple, planned days to purchase items, delivered them, and cooked food for the children. Some Delta students also donated their own resources in addition to the ones they bought with the fundraised money. Lastly, they spent time playing soccer and volleyball with the children in an effort to be more connected to them.
Team 2: Visit Bach Hoa Trang Orphanage
- Supervisor: Chau Ngo
- Tay Ninh team, which consists of five Delta students, reached eighteen orphans (eight in secondary school, five in primary school, three in vocational school, and two in preschool). This team worked separately, where each person was assigned to purchase certain items. However, they all met up at the orphanage on the delivery date to distribute supplies. They also spent time playing with the young orphans.
