Founded in 2000 by Fr. Thuan and two friends based in San Francisco, CA, the Blind Vietnamese Children Foundation assisted The Lover of the Holy Cross Sisters who had just established Nhat Hong Thi Nghe Home for the Blind in Ho Chi Minh City (1995). Up to the present time with the Foundation’s support the Sisters expanded to nine homes and schools with a total of almost 400 students. The Foundation has also provided funding to maintain the homes, schools, and healthcare centers for visually impaired children administered by other lay or religious groups. The Foundation is governed by a volunteer board of directors and supported by hundreds of friends who give much of their time and wealth throughout the year to assist in BVCF fundraising efforts. Every year the Foundation organized the benefit luncheons or dinners with silent and live auctions, and raffles. A lively family atmosphere blends different cultures and faiths in a single effort to help our very special children live promising lives in Vietnam.

The Guilford Center for Children provides year-round education for children of working parents from all socioeconomic backgrounds. We involve children in independent and collaborative tasks that help them reach their intellectual, creative, moral, and physical potential while working cooperatively with others. We nurture the curiosity and thirst for knowledge inherent in all young children. Our curriculum is designed to allow our students to gain confidence in their personal strength, an awareness of their individual gifts, and the desire to share their joy with others, both in and outside the classroom. We believe every child needs and deserves a safe, secure, and stimulating environment. We believe this desired environment begins with a positive, nurturing relationship between child and teacher. We believe that quality child care and early childhood development includes communicating and working with the family through education, support and parent involvement. Our curriculum is based on the whole child: his/her social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and creative development. We see each child as a unique individual and plan our programs according to the child’s strengths, needs, interests and developmental skills. We believe in fostering cultural awareness and pride through anti-bias curriculum and activities. We strive to keep our services available and affordable to all families. Our mission is to continue to create an enhanced, quality early and primary education program that emphasizes the arts and cultural experiences. We aim to encourage curiosity, promote kindness and respect, and foster interaction with and in support of our community.

We provide trusted, quality research, recommendations and advocacy that advance public policy and investments to improve the well-being of Connecticut’s children and families, specifically those that have been historically disadvantaged. At Connecticut Voices for Children (CT Voices), we believe that every policy and every funding decision should lead us closer to the future we want, which is a just society where all children are able to reach their full potential. As researchers and advocates, we know that financial security for families of color, particularly Black and Latiné families in Connecticut, is primarily determined by the historically rooted policies and practices that affect affordable housing, criminal and foster youth justice, fair employment, and tax equity. Our advocacy builds power with communities through deep organizing and broad partnership with values aligned coalitions, because sustained systems change requires turning moments to movements. We envision a Connecticut that creates opportunity for everyone, not just the lucky and privileged few, where all children achieve their full potential. Our strategic aim is toward economic justice and we prioritize issues that advance family economic security. Specifically, we promote: *tax reform including tax credit policies that lift-up low- and middle-income families as well as progressive revenue to fund critical supports and services; *land-use and zoning reforms that dismantle our history of redlining, protect tenants and provide rental assistance as well as rehabilitate existing and develop new affordable housing; *reforms to the foster care and criminal legal systems that keep families together, provide opportunities for young people as well as reinvest in urban centers; and *universal access to high-quality early care that provides dignified wages and paid sick days to educators as well as access to and pay caps for families.
