On June 27, 2008, the Board of Directors of Sunflower Mission and some of its Advisors had an appreciation dinner for the University of Houston Vietnamese Student Association (UH-VSA).

In the past five years, Sunflower Mission has been recognized as the Charity of the UH-VSA. UH-VSA has been committed and dedicated to improving the lives of the children of Vietnam through education. Through the years, UH-VSA has put together many events including poker tournaments, bake sales, and fashion shows to support the Sunflower Mission cause. UH-VSA has raised over $17,000 for Sunflower Mission!

At 7:45am, many of our summer work camp participants arrived at the gate of The Dao-Le residence. Some of them drove straight from out of town at 4am and some of them flew in from other states. They were so punctual it was refreshing and it demonstrates their enthusiasm. One shared with me that he arrived at 7am but did not ring the gate because too early.

Location: Washington D.C area
