Thank you for your generosity at Tết Trung Thu 2012

On 28 September we visited Long Hai Children's Centre to deliver mooncakes and lanterns for Trung Thu (mid-Autumn festival) 2012.


We were welcomed by all 110 children who attend school at the centre, with dancing and singing performances.

Each student received a delicious mooncake and a lantern to celebrate Tết Trung Thu, as well as a drink, some milk, and a toothbrush and toothpaste (see link "The Result" to find out why).

The total raised was 14,850,000 VND. This month only we have included the money given by regular contributors to our ongoing project at Long Hai of providing rice to the students and their families.

We have mooncakes!

Thanks to a very generous gesture by Thảo in Bà Rịa we have mooncakes. Thảo is a baker and maker of delicious cakes and will make 110 mooncakes for us to distribute to the students attending school at Long Hải Centre.

Please help us to give them lanterns as well. Contact us at titibititiem.projects@gmail.com to add your contribution to the project.

Trung Thu 2012 - Mid-Autumn Festival Appeal

Tết Trung Thu - the mid-Autumn Festival - is coming on 30 September 2012, and we want to make sure that the children at the centres get to enjoy the traditions of the festival with lanterns and mooncakes.

The appeal

Help us to buy mooncakes and lanterns for the children at Long Hải Centre. We are budgetting for approximately 12,000,000 VND (75,000 VND per child). Your contribution can help make this a happy time. 

You can use the currency converter on the right to find out how much this means in your currency. For example, 75,000 VND = approximately $3.50 AUD, the price of the cake you were going to have with your cup of coffee this morning!

Tết 2012 additional contributions

We received an additional 5.05 million VND after Tết 2012. Thank you to:

• Tuấn Anh and friends (Vietnam)
• Khanh Thuy (USA)
• Allison (Australia)

Your donations have been used to help restock the kitchen at Long Hải Centre with essential ingredients such as cooking oil, rice and noodles, and will help ensure that the centre is able to continue providing a daily meal to the children attending school there.

Thank you for your generosity at Tết 2012

We have collected just over 12 million VND (equal to approximately $600 USD) for the Tết 2012 project. This money has been used to buy rice for the families of  poor children attending school at the Long Hải Centre for the Social Protection of Children.

Gifts of clothes for the students as well as biscuits and cooking oil for the families were also made.
