It's been awhile since we have updated our blog. We're sorry about this, but it was a very busy end to the year. 2007 was our biggest year yet, and we hope that 2008 will be even bigger and with your help it can and will be.
The main focus of 2007 was on our Wheelchair, Food Distribution, Educational Scholarships, Bicycle Donations and Orthopedic Surgery programs. Through these programs were able to touch and change the lives of many children and adults throughout Vietnam. We opened doors for communities as a whole, family units and individuals.
Official numbers will be reported soon but we are happy to announce;
4950 people received wheelchairs
Over 150 children received Educational Scholarships
141 families were supported with a year of rice
50 children received new bicycles
Over 100 children received life changing orthopedic or burn scar surgery
In addition to these large programs HSCV oversaw a few smaller programs. These smaller programs help insure less children fall through the cracks that can be found in many of the lager organizations.
We are happy to announce our first student is receiving a scholarship to attend University.
4 children received life saving surgery heart surgery. Our list of children needing heart surgery is long, but unfortunately we are only able to help a few children each year.
Our first medical case was accepted at the Shiner’s hospital of Sacramento California.
These are just a few examples of how HSCV has impacted the lives of individuals in the past year. We are truly thankful for all of the support we have received and we hope we can count on you to continue your support. Your support has come in many forms; monetary, in-kind, volunteering, networking, spreading the word, and interest.
From the HSCV, Thank you for all of your support and have a wonderful New Year!
