Vietnam Update.

The original floor plan for the Sullivan House in Vietnam.


The completed Sullivan House in Vietnam.

The beautiful Sullivan House in Vietnam has finally been completed! This new space was much-needed, and it will certainly be appreciated by both the children who live there and the houseparents who watch over them.

In October 2007, Touch A Life supported 77 children on a full-time basis (meaning that these children lived on Touch A Life property), and helped 116 with partial or part-time assistance (meaning these children resided elsewhere and benefited from Touch A Life programs offered during the day). Currently, Touch A Life supports 101 children full-time and 105 part-time. The reason for the decline in part-time sponsorships is either because the previously accounted for children are now being sponsored full-time or because they moved out of the area.

The children were highly anticipating the completion of the Sullivan House. We're thankful that progress was made quickly and that the construction moved along smoothly.
