Fundraising Photo Exhibition: Orphans of the Temple

Sat 11 Jul 2015, 4 – 10 pm
Spacebar Cafe

From the organizer:

Over 2 decades ago, a Buddhist monk took it upon himself to raise an orphaned child at Thinh Dai temple in Ha Nam province. Today, his family of orphans has grown to over 30 children. A collection of 25 Portraits of these kids taken by Emily Sumner will be displayed on the Saturday of July 11th.

Next to each portrait of the kid is a short story about her/him (nickname, age, characteristic, how he/she became an orphan, and what he/she needs for the school year of 2015–2016). All stories are written by Quan (a boy raised in the temple and now studying in Hanoi) in Vietnamese and translated into English by volunteers.

Ticket available at door on July 11th for 50,000 VND/each. All funds donated to Thinh Dai orphanage.
