Review for Leyna Nguyens Love Across the Ocean, Studio City, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Leyna Nguyen Love Across The Ocean is the only legit non-profit organizations that Im fully trust and support 100% because every pennies that people have donated, it goes directly to the needy people, non of the money goes to any of the volunteers, or board members.etc..
I've been volunteering for Love Across The Ocean (LATO) for over two years now and recently had a chance to visited few of the children and poor elderly people and places in VietNam whom Leyna Nguyen and her organization helped since 1997!! It's truly a blessing for those needy people that needed help, and without Leyna and LATO, people like myself wouldn't be able to give a helping hand to anyone even if we wanted to!
Besides helping children to have a better learning condition by building and renovating school, LATO also help families who's struggle to feed themselves on a daily basis, Relief effort for flooding victims got hit by typhoons, just to name a few!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

I have many personal experiences with LATO either through fund rasing for typhoons in mid-region in Vietnam, Operation Blankets for a small village in Ha Tinh this winter because of the freezing weather! Just got back from a foods relief effort for the people in Khe Sanh, it's such a wonderful experience and feeling after seeing all of the smiley and happy faces, I appreciated Leyna and LATO more!

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

I wouldn't change a thing! it's perfect the way it is right now, because Leyna Nguyen runs it exactly the way a non profit should be running, just wish other organizations run it like Leyna so that more needy people can receive our help through Leyna Nguyen and her non profit LATO! !

Role:  Volunteer & I've helped organizing fund raising events for LATO! I also organized an event that helped raise money for a little girl who got burnt from a neighbor's house from a scalding water when she was 18 months old! Because her family is so poor..they were havin.
