Dieu Phap Temple Orphanage is located in Bien Hoa, Dong Nai Province.

In June 2024, our VietCorps extended family came together to enjoy a picnic/BBQ event at a beautiful horse farm in Maryland (the Black Lotus Farm). With our young tutors coming home from college, it was a wonderful opportunity for all of us to gather and to discuss VietCorps’ past and future projects, and most importantly to enjoy each other’s company and friendships.  

On Saturday, December 10, 2022, we had a holiday party event at the McLean Community Center for VietCorps’ members, tutors, their families and friends and supporters of our organization.   During the event, Vietcorps’ Board Members briefly highlighted the group’s projects and successes in 2022.  We also discussed our upcoming projects for next year, including a planned service mission to Vietnam next summer.   The holiday party event was a success, and a fun time was had […]
