New homes for old in Vietnam Siloam’s project to bring lasting relief to poor families after the typhoon floods of autumn 2009 – the worst for 40 years!!! Siloam is one of the few organisations based in the UK which has a Christian outreach ministry to Vietnam. Leamington Spa is also the home of the late The Rev’d Pat Ash who sadly passed away last year, he first began to organise the mercy flights and adoption of Vietnamese orphaned babies back in the 1960s and 1970s. Although Siloam never had any contact at all with the late Rev’d Pat Ash formerly at St Mary’s in Leamington Spa, he was known to one of our co-workers who worked with a number of agencies in Vietnam and he inspired Siloam to set up a child sponsorship programme which currently supports 160+ children today. In addition to that, Siloam has helped many medical and social work projects in Vietnam over the years and in this publication, we would like to share with you how this year you can help a poor family have a new substantially built home at a relatively low cost. For just £1,200.00 supporters can provide a new home for a family built with bricks, steel and concrete which will include the basic necessities we take for granted of toilet and running water. Here are just a few examples of homes we have built in the recent past to inspire you to get involved with this year’s new homes for old project in Vietnam. You can have full confidence in supporting Siloam with our new homes for old project because over the years we have helped several families enjoy the benefit of a new secure dwelling. We have our own co-worker Tran Cong Duc on the field who has been with our Siloam operations since the beginning in 1995 and we have our Representative for Southeast Asia Don Foster a retired Civil Servant who is also a radio expert working in relief operations. Don is often recruited by Tear Fund and other agencies to work in disaster areas. Don currently works part time as a social worker in Taunton and the Chard Baptist Church which he attends, supports most of his air fares for his missionary endeavours in the Philippines and Vietnam. Our own staff here in Leamington Spa Michael and Lan Subbamani understand well the situation in Vietnam having visited the country twice since coming to the UK in 1989 and maintaining regular contacts through friends and family by email and telephone etc… Please help if you can with our special appeal. Your gift will be important for an impoverished family in Vietnam – your love really does matter right now.
