Last December, we’ve asked you for bicycles for the children in KonTum that were displaced by a mudslide that buried their village. Your response has been tremendous. You have donated 275 bicycles to the children in KonTum and in neighboring areas. We had hoped for 200 bicycles, and you have far exceeded our expectations. Your kindness and generosity not only make a significant positive change in these children’s lives but also remind them that they are loved, never forgotten. We are honored to represent you in presenting your gifts to the children. May 2012 bring you greater blessings than all you have bestowed on others.

FCVN Board of Directors

Dear Friends of FCVN,

What was the best gift someone has given you? Surprisingly, it does not depend on the amount spent on the gift, but how much love was in the gift.

This year, we ask you to give a gift from your heart that will change a child’s life. The ethnic minority Hmongs live at the foot of a mountain in KomTum Central Highlands. Because many trees have been cut from the mountain, there was nothing to hold the rain water during the monsoon season. Unfortunately, there was a huge mudslide, and their village was buried. The mudslide also destroyed the only bridge they had of crossing a river into civilization. Now to cross, the people have to walk in waist to chest deep fast-current water to the other side, holding their belongings on their head. They have no food, and the children have no way to go to school. The children were sent to live in a Catholic church across the river. The church has sixty-five displaced children. The children walk more than ten miles each way to school on rough, unpaved road.

The Foundation for Children of Vietnam would like to get mountain bicycles for these children, and we need your help. For a tax-deductible $50 donation, we will send you a picture of a child that received your bicycle gift, holding a sign with your name. Each bicycle will also have a sticker with your name to remind the child of your love and kindness. Each child will get a new T-shirt, as most of these children do not have a change of clothing.

This holiday season, please give the gift a child will remember as the best gift. Please give your gift of life-changing love.

Yours in gratitude,
Phuong Phoenix Bui
