Socail support centre Danang
by far the worst conditions i have seen

36 °C
we have been and visited this site a few times. This is by far the most heartrenching place i have been to in vietnam. I cant help crying when i see the people here.
Okay its like a big community and has different wings, the baby orphan rooms, the disabled children and agent orange affected wing, street people (the Danang police to round up and dump them at the centre) and the elderly peoples wing.
The disabled children often have hole cut out of there clothes so they can be tyed to the side of there cots easyer (they don't tend to do this while the volunteers are there. they know it upsets us.) but you can see the ropes that they use tied to the sides of the beds and such. The disabled children just sit in cots and the urine just pools underneath... it's so sad.
the elderly peoples room (about 8 people in one room) is hard to walk into because of the smell -the whole place stinks of urine, it seems to just choke you and you have trouble breathing. The girl showing us around pointed out the man in the corner as dying of TB. everyone here looked so sad, i couldn't make my self photograph them. I left in tears.









Thank you for your update. May God strengthen you in these final days. May you see or hear the fruit of your time serving Him. You will give thanks for salvation in Him.
Loving greetings Pa and Ma
