House building

At long last, I have some photos of two houses that Blue Dragon has built in Hue. We don't normally build houses for families - only when there's a really serious need - but I think most people would agree that both of these cases would qualify...

Both houses are for families of kids who were trafficked but are now at home and going to school.

(A note about the banner on the front of the house: The custom in Vietnam is for the donor to attach a plaque to any house that they pay for - even if they only pay a tiny proportion of the total cost. I don't like to do that, as it implies we still own the home. But the families often want to recognise us in this way - it increases their status in the community! - so our compromise is to hang a banner for the party when the house is being 'officially' opened. )
