School is a foreign environment for the children. When they return to their families in the village, they only speak in their local language. Their parents are also not fluent in Vietnamese, and they are illiterate.
Viet Toc’s people visit leper colonies and provide whatever aid they can. Lepers are segregated in ramshackle communities with their children, where they receive little medical attention and must survive in squalid living conditions.
25 years of the founding of our Viet Toc Foundation marks the blessings of the vocation to serve the Tribal people in 30 regions of the five provinces of Vietnam. We provide clean water, medicine especially for the leper colonies, food, and shelters.
. Beautiful model of having older J’Rai students assigned to help teach not only academically but share their lives, celebrating their common history, culture and tradition.

Love has the power to connect and spread. Those who have a heart for the poor and love for their homeland are invited and gathered to make small material contribution, but full of love to contribute to improving the lives of poor and undereducated brothers and sisters.
During my time there they had over 15 children whom they were tutoring. They both choose to return to the village they grew up in, to relive the conditions, in order to give the children of their village a better chance of achieving what they did.
They’ve kind of gotten pushed back further and further in the mountains.
Their land was passed down from generation to generation, but over time outsiders have just moved in and claimed it, especially in areas with good, clean water.
The day that our group went to the leper colony was one of the best days that I have had here in Vietnam. I believe that the devil was really trying to keep us from going but we just laughed about the experiences and kept going with God at our side.
Viet Toc hopes that through the Links of Love program, you will join us in helping to improve the lives of those in dire need in Vietnam, especially with the education of underprivileged Montagnard children. Among them are orphans as well as children whose parents suffer from leprosy.
