Tong Phuoc Phuc is VietNam's equivalent to India's Mother Teresa. May our Lord richly bless and reward him for his love and work!

Nha Trang is a beautiful city backed by mountains that slip down to the blue sea. How I would like to see it again!

This man is emblematic of common courage in the common people of Viet Nam. He and his beliefs will survive the current communist regime and the children he saves will remember what they owe.

Thank you for posting those images. Does anyone have an address where donations may be sent?

I wonder if there are ways "around" the law for Catholic foreigners to adopt some of these little ones.

Any law that makes it difficult or impossible for good, loving families to adopt orphans is unjust and may be safely ignored, in my opinion.

This mighty servant of the Lord is a shining example. May he light the darkness in Vietnam for all to see.

“I wonder how donations could safely reach him?”

That’s one thing I’d worry about. This man’s operation becomes world famous, and government officials begin seeing it as a cash opportunity, especially corrupt guys on the local level. You know how it goes... no “donation” to the local officials, and your goods don’t get to Mr. Phuc.

We can only pray that God will take care of that.

That’s a very ugly statement.

Any ugliness is in your mind, not in the text. However, the guy is doing a long series of good deeds in a very difficult place. I have nothing but praise for him and nothing but condemnation for those of his nation whose behavior make his ministry necessary.

It is so very obvious that The LOVE Itself works His continuing miracles thru each new life that makes it to the Earth. And those lives that will soon bless the Planet Mars.

Just for the LOVE of it.

Here's another article about him in Viet Nam News. It doesn't have his address, but there is an address and an e-mail address for Viet Nam News. It's a fair chance if you contacted them, they'd know how to contact the orphanage.

God bless this man, who has the heart of the Good Shepherd himself.

>> Abortion is a welcome choice for many who ... are unwilling to risk being disowned by their families.

Better to be disowned than dismembered. I say side with baby-prenatal.

The cemetery is the vivid reminder everyone should witness.

What possibility exists of a similar memorial here in the U.S.?

Does anyone have an address where donations may be sent?

I don't think so. I've searched multiple stories, some posted here, for information on how he receives donations from "Catholic and Buddhist organizations" or otherwise, and found no information at all. I am not even sure if the Catholic organizations are in Vietnam or elsewhere.

I found one reference to a girl sending a donation directly via her parents who hand-delivered it to him, but that is an obvious stretch for probably all of us. Short of contacting the reporters from the various stories who have met him, it may be that the publicity from these recent stories (one made the L.A. Times), may drum up a "grassroots donation train" that would reach him and not be stolen by corrupt officials along the way, as is a fear I had when considering whether I could contact the Vietnamese embassy about him & his orphanage.
