Charity Works

​Charities Works in Phu Tam, Vietnam – October 2025: Food Distribution

In early October 2025, Dr. May Trieu’s siblings traveled to Phu Tam, Vietnam as volunteers representing Nirvana Temple to carry out their most recent charitable mission—bringing food, comfort, and compassion to families in need. They went beyond their volunteer duties by personally contributing their own funds to help thousands of families in need, making this outreach a true act of selfless giving.

This charitable effort was a simple yet powerful reminder of how much a small act of kindness can mean. Over three days (October 3rd, 4th, and 6th), they visited several communities, distributing essential food supplies and sharing kindness with elders, parents, and children alike. This initiative represented many thousands of dollars in donations, made possible through Dr. May’s continued commitment to giving back.

“We usually do charitable works every year,” says Dr. May.  “I’m often too busy to share the photos, but this is one of our most recent efforts, and I’m grateful it could reach so many people.”

​Each visit was filled with gratitude and joy—villagers receiving food packages, volunteers working side by side, and heartfelt smiles exchanged across generations.  The pictures below capture those moments of love and connection.

I’m deeply proud of my siblings for representing our family and extending our love to the people of Phu Tam. Their efforts reflect the true meaning of giving — expecting nothing in return but finding joy in helping others.​
