Dear friends,

The end of the year is an opportunity for family members to spend time together, instead of being happy with their children and grandchildren, 114 people are  alone in quiet rooms of nursing homes during the year-end holidays.

There are many people who can’t walk and/or eat, they spend the entire day watching television or sleeping in bed.  It seems that TV has become a close friend of the elderly. Even if they had loss their hearing, but he could see the images.  There are many people who are very happy every time they see our group visit.  On Saturday morning, December 22, 2018, the volunteer group from Tu Bi Foundation and Vietnam Buddhist Temple (including Venerable Thich Minh Phuoc, Venerable Thich Tam Lac, and bhikkhunī Hue Hoa)  visited and gave gifts to 114 people in the nursing home; hoping to bring joy during the holidays.  Each gift consists of a wool hat, a pair of socks, a pair of gloves, a toothpaste tube and a card of heartwarming brothers and sisters who are given each hand.

The gifts are not expensive but were wrapped with the love of our brothers and sisters, and hope to bring them smiles and warmth this winter.
