February 14th, 2010 marks the start of the year of the Tiger on the Lunar Calendar. Known as Tet in Vietnam, it means the first morning of the first day of the new year. This is the most important time of the year for families in Vietnam. It a time for celebration, making amends, paying off debts and starting fresh. Families in the cities make a pilgrimage to visit their families in their home land and to pay respects to their ancestors.
You can help make this time of year special for our families. It is our goal to raise enough money to give at least one gift to each of the 170 families in our Rice Distribution Program.
If you are currently sponsoring a family you can donate a gift package directly to your family
We are offering 4 gift packages at $25, $35, $45 and $55 usd. A portion of these donations will go towards our General Tet Gift Fund.
If you are not sponsoring a specific family you can donate to our General Tet Gift Fund.

Happy New Year from the HSCV team!
