Our four weeks flew by, and we were sad to leave our new Vietnamese family, we left them in capable hands though! The Sisters were super efficient (as always) at getting the children up like in theIr new physio plans. Sister Linh has also been scooting around Hanoi to get the best deal for their new mosquito nets, I will include a picture once they have been installed!
Mi is already good at speaking English!
Love heart totem pole
We taught the girls how to dance, most probably the cutest thing I have ever seen
And of course we got a farewell performance
Our leaving party caused a ruckus! Balloons, bubbles and sweets galore!
All the kids got out to celebrate
and although our heart was breaking....
We learnt so much from our Sisters
Goodbye Huong La! This place could be miserable, it is a home of 26 orphans, nearly all of whom are disabled, but instead you are a home full of love and laughter. When I grow up (metaphorically of course, I was the biggest person in town) I want to be as amazing as you!
Hello Tam Ky!
After an interesting flight to Da Nang we arrived! Mr Viet picked us up and we were immediately disappointed!! IT WAS STILL CLOUDY! We were promised sunshine in the South! After meeting the new team however the sun came out (a sign of good things to come?) and we were on our way.
Here we met Nuong and Tam, our awesome dream team and motorbike escorts! And the dream team wastes no time, what a busy week it has been!
We spend mornings at the baby orphanage, to help with feeding and looking after a few of the younger disabled children, here the older kids go to school! Which makes us very happy. There are about 80 children at this orphanage.
High baby to bed ratio!
Means that you sometime wish you had 6 arms! But Tam is a pro
My chubby bubby fell asleep while drinking, I don't know how you managed twins mum!
My wee man asleep in the middle!
Well already a week has gone, it is harder to connect to internet here, but please keep up the emails! I miss hearing from home.
