Dear Friend,
We are delighted to
be celebrating with you the 11th anniversary of the founding of Messengers
of Love (MOL). Thanks to your precious support, throughout the past
decade, MOL has steadfastly carried out its mission: Provide orphans and
disadvantaged children and elderly people in Vietnam and other countries in
Southeast Asia an improved quality of life and a better future. MOL has brought
love and hope to over 5,000 children and those who need it most. We offer
nutritious food, clothing, clean water, safe shelter, educational assistance,
after school learning, and spiritually uplifting gifts at holiday times.
We not only strive to improve the lives of children in orphanages but also the
lives of other poor children who are at risk of not being able to continue
their education. Once a child is accepted into our program, we support
his/her education through college. All we ask from the college graduates
is to come back and help others succeed.
MOL believes that
all children deserve to be nurtured physically and emotionally, to receive a
quality education, and most importantly, to know that there is someone who
cares for them. Children who grow up unloved and abandoned often
experience low self-esteem and emotional insecurity, which could adversely affect
their futures. MOL strives to make a positive impact on these children’s
lives by giving them an opportunity to grow and develop into confident and
successful young adults. Thus MOL’s approach is a well-rounded one; we
try to meet all of the children’s needs: physical, emotional, spiritual,
and educational. We do this through the various programs and services
which are carefully designed and implemented to meet these needs. Their future
will be improved because they have been physically and emotionally
nurtured. They will grow up confident and emotionally secure, and are
more likely to treat others with kindness. Armed with an education, they
will be protected from a future of life on the streets, from being exploited,
used for child labor or worse, sold into prostitution rings. They will
become successful and be able to contribute to society and help others as they
have been helped.
Our work has been
made possible through contributions and grants received from generous donors,
sponsors, and volunteers like you. Please consider continuing with your support
by making a contribution in the form of a table sponsorship or other
contributions such as a monetary donation or donation of valuable items for the
auction for MOL’s upcoming fundraiser: “2015 Christmas Love Without
Borders Gala”. The funds will be used toward supporting MOL’s
mission and goals in improving the lives of the orphans , the poor and
disadvantage students, and helping the impoverished communities, expanding on
the goals that we achieved last year. Enclosed please find the
donation/sponsorship form. To donate on line, please visit our
website: www.messengersoflove.com. On behalf of the
MOL team and the children we serve, we thank you for your generosity and
support.
With deep
appreciation,

MOL's Programs and
Services updates
"Holiday's Care Package":
This past year in
2014, over 5000 children and adults (lepers, elders, handicapped) received the
Holiday care package. MOL started the Christmas Care package program in
2004, with the purpose of spreading love and the spirit of Christmas to those who
need it most: the orphans. The children not only received the basic needs
such as new clothes, toiletries, milk, food, but also a toy and candies to give
them the happy childhood they deserve. Santa was sent to deliver the package,
but also to spread the message and true meaning of Christmas: that God
loves us and sent his only son that we ought to love God and love one another
(John 6). The message of Christmas was spread Christmas after Christmas,
from orphanages to orphanages, from villages to villages again this past
Christmas.

"Education for a Child"
Scholarship program:
As of 2015, there
are 160 students receiving scholarships from MOL. 22 of them have
graduated from college, with 29 currently in college. This year we are
adding 17 more students from Thanh Hoa area. These are children whose families
struggled financially due to extraneous circumstances such as the death of a
parent, loss of job or illness of one or both parent(s) and risked having to
quit school due to inability to pay for tuition and fees. We took them in
and kept our promise to help them through college. We only ask that once
they become successful, they will do the same for others. They volunteer
with local church project such as visiting other poor people during their summer
break. Those who graduated returned to volunteer and help teach
other misfortunate children. We strongly believe they will
help improve society, one child at a time.
Computer and English
Class: We completed outfitting our first "English and Computer"
Class in Phu Loc - Hue this past spring 2015 with 6 computers and one
projector. This past summer we had 65 kids attending class, ranging from
elementary through 11th grade. The teacher is Ms. Thu Thao Le, a former
poor student MOL sponsored. We added another class in Thanh Hoa – North
Vietnam with 25 kids this past summer 2015. The kids are learning
and are very enthusiastic about practicing their English. We
will continue to expand and add another computer center at St. Joseph orphanage
in Ho Nai - South Vietnam in spring of 2016. We anticipate there
will be about an additional 90 orphans and poor children whose lives will
forever be changed as a result of this program.
Big Brother Big
Sister: We have 30 members from MOL Youth comprised mostly of high school
students and 40 college students from various Universities across North America
signed up to be the big brothers and big sisters for the Vietnamese
children. The big brother/big sister program will be an educational
resource tool and a way to create a personal connection between students in
America and in Vietnam. Curriculum that consists of interactive
worksheets, lesson plans, and games are presented for the children to learn
English. This program is also a great opportunity for our youths to
increase their volunteer capacity as well as accomplish the goals of MOL to
help inspire and educate students abroad.
Special projects –
Humanitarian & Safe Shelters: As of 2015, MOL has provided
school lunch assistance on a yearly basis for 70 poor village children in Phu
Loc, Hue. MOL partnered with major US hospitals and brought 3
handicapped children to the USA for medical operations. MOL helped
build 5 clean water systems for 5 villages of ethnic minority people (người Thượng)
in the mountains of Kontum. Each system served a village of about
200 to 300 families. As of summer 2015, MOL had built a total of 32
new homes for the poor/lepers, fixed up 3 village schools, built 3 dining halls
for three rural schools, built two village roads, and remodeled 1
orphanage. MOL provided rice and supplies to over 1000 flood victim
families of Central Vietnam during the yearly flood. MOL provided funding for
19 wells for poor villages and 5 clean water systems for the villages
close to Thua Thien and Kontum.
"Medical
Sponsorship": Thuy Nhu Nguyen, one of the five orphaned girls
MOL sponsored, finally finished with her treatment here in the USA and had gone
back to Vietnam to attend Nam My school in Saigon. She is now in 11th
grade and is doing well, studying for the TOFEL test. She came to the USA
in October 2012 and stayed for a year. Thuy Nhu was born with facial
pigmentation abnormality. Messengers of Love was able to secure treatment
from Dr. Tue Dinh from Methodist Reconstrutive Surgery unit to treat her free
of charge. MOL provided all cost related to paperwork, visa and travel.
She had gone through 9 different treatment with great results. Click here to view Thuy Nhu letter to MOL.

After being in relationship with Elizabeth for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that never believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I mailed the spell caster, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there.
