In a warm and heartfelt atmosphere, on the morning of December 7th, 2025, the Que Huong Center for Orphaned and Disabled Children, located at 1210 DT743A Road, Tan Long Ward, Di An City, Ho Chi Minh City, solemnly celebrated its 24th anniversary. This was an opportunity to reflect on the journey so far, express gratitude to the compassionate hearts that have accompanied the center, and provide further motivation for its continued care, nurturing, and support of children in particularly difficult circumstances.
The event was attended by representatives from central and local government agencies in Di An ward, representatives of the Hoang-Huynh family clan, representatives from several consulates in Vietnam, along with a large number of local residents and children from the Center.
A 24-Year Journey of Sowing Love: Established in 2001, the Que Huong Humanitarian Center has become a common home for 347 orphaned, disabled, and disadvantaged children. With the motto "Love – Sharing – Empowering the Future," the Center not only provides food and shelter but also organizes education, vocational training, rehabilitation, and creates conditions for the children to integrate into the community. For the past 24 years, the staff, employees, and volunteers have dedicated their hearts and souls to caring for the children. Many of the children have now grown up, have stable jobs, and return to support the center as a way of showing gratitude to their former home.
Community collaboration – a sustainable driving force.
At the ceremony, Ms. Huynh Tieu Huong, representing the center, expressed her deep gratitude to the leaders at all levels, social organizations, benefactors, businesses, and kind-hearted individuals who have always accompanied and supported the center both materially and spiritually throughout the years. This collective effort has helped the center gradually improve its facilities and expand its care programs, assisting more children. On this occasion, Ms. Huynh Tieu Huong expressed her intention to hand over all activities of the Homeland Humanitarian Center to the Hoang-Huynh family clan to continue caring for her children if she no longer has the health to maintain the center's work. On behalf of the Hoang-Huynh family clan, Major General Hoang Kien gave a speech commenting on the center's activities over the past 24 years, and accepted Ms. Huynh Tieu Huong's request to continue the center's current work. Attendees also sent best wishes, acknowledging the persistent efforts of the center's staff in humanitarian work, contributing to social welfare policies and spreading humanitarian values in the community.
Many meaningful activities took place at the celebration.
Within the framework of the ceremony, the Center organized cultural performances by the children themselves; and expressed gratitude to individuals and organizations that have made significant contributions. Over 1000 gifts (300,000 VND/gift) were provided to support the elderly, children, and those in particularly difficult circumstances. Touching moments clearly demonstrated the warmth, care, and spirit of sharing that the community showed towards the children.
Continuing the journey of nurturing hope:
Entering its 24th year, the Que Huong Center for Orphaned and Disabled Children aims to improve the quality of care, expand life skills education, and strengthen social connections to provide children with special circumstances a safe, compassionate, and opportunity-filled living and learning environment. The 24th anniversary celebration marked a significant milestone, affirming the center's perseverance, responsibility, and humanitarian spirit – a place that nurtures dreams and sows hope for those less fortunate.
