Giving in a Time of Crisis

In the face of this worldwide pandemic that is impacting all of us both personally and professionally, I would like to share with you a story that warms my heart and put a smile on the faces of children in need. It is a story of hope and resilience.

Keeping the Dream Alive

To make things better you need to challenge the things that are not good enough. Please join us in helping improve the lives of the orphaned and abandoned children at The Center for Innocent Children.

Please Welcome Our First Business Outreach Partner: Seapot Restaurant

About the Center for Innocent Children

The Center for Innocent Children (Trường Khuyết Tật Bé Thơ) in Biên Hòa, Vietnam, was founded in 1990 by Sister Maria Daniel Vu Thi Vinh. Today, it is the home of 153 orphans, along with 58 children with disabilities.

Jacques Tocatlian – The Painter

Jacques Tocatlian was a prolific painter who was not bound by any borders, defined by labels, or frightened of critics. He painted in various styles. His work was good enough to win a first prize, yet sometimes went unappreciated.

Meet Vũ Thị Xuân Mai

Xuân Mai and the other children from the center come from many places with different backgrounds and contexts. They have unique personalities and various needs. With our continued support, Sister Maria will be able to carry forward her quest to help these deserving children.
