Children and monks sit together on the floor at Tu Hanh Pagoda

During the winter of 2023, our grandparents continued TranScience's mission of supporting orphanages in need while we were unable to travel due to school. In Ho Chi Minh City, they visited Tu Hanh Pagoda again, an orphanage identified as needing assistance which we visited last winter. On behalf of TranScience, they donated school supplies and food for the children. As shown in the photos, each child received a bag filled with essentials, while monks helped stack larger donations of rice, noodles, and other locally sourced food to support the wider community.

  • The gate of Chùa Tu Hanh
    Chùa Tu Hanh received funds donated from TranScience that helped restore temple roofs and refurbish items for the community's use.
  • A monk and a helper stack boxes of donated food
    Monks help organize boxes of rice, oil, noodles, beans, flour, and formula, nonperishable vegetarian food purchased from vendors earning only $5 a week, to aid families in the underdeveloped community surrounding Chùa Tu Hanh.
  • Children sit outside the temple with their goodie bags
    Outside the temple, children received goodie bags packed with snacks and school supplies from our grandparents, offering heartfelt thanks to TranScience for making it possible.
