Everything is going well, I'm going to visit the National Pediatric Hospital and bringing loads of teddy bears, dolls, toy trucks, musical instruments etc. I was there last year and it is a splendid way to spend a few hours with sick and injured children. You should see the smiles! My friends at local NGO's have arranged for me to visit a few families in need that I can help. Another organization (www.hscv.org) has arranged for me to visit some rural families that I have been sponsoring as well. So lots going on. My nephew Shon is with me for the second year (for 2 weeks, he came with me to Cambodia last year) and he's really enjoying Hanoi so far. We went to Blue Dragon (http://www.bdcf.org/) today, and it was lovely to see the staff and some of the children. I will be donating $1,000 towards the building of the house for a needy family with 6 children in Hue. I got together with Van (Vietnamese Human Rights lawyer) and I must say it was a joyous reunion, we like each other a lot. He told me about an extremely poor place near the Chinese border (about 300 km. from Hanoi) that we will be able to visit on Friday and Saturday to provide assistance. It's a very poor school and the children really need help so we'll bring food, school supplies, warm clothes, money etc. |
