News from Vietnam

Having been on the road for a few weeks, it's great to be back home in Vietnam where all the action is. Every time I go away and come back, the kids seem to be a bit taller and more grown up!

Lots has been happening, including celebrations in Hoi An for International Woman's Day...



... workshops for kids, parents, and government officials on issues like study techniques and children's rights....




... an art event for country kids who we sponsor to go to school...




... and, of course, Earth Hour.


Two of our young guys who were studying in New Zealand on scholarships have just returned to Hanoi and are looking for jobs. One is applying to work in another charity, which is great to see, and the other is likely to apply to some restaurants. Their English is amazing now, so I don't think they'll have much trouble getting good jobs.
