Goodbye Vietnam

08.06.2008 37 °C

well, today we went to the three orphanages we have been working at for the past three months in order to say goodbye. It was neat to see the kids. We took fruit, some gingerbreak bikkies that Ange had made, a picture book for some of the kids and some clothes as well.

It was not easy to say goodbye. Especially when one of the mothers gave me a 'nasty' look when she was told we were leaving tomorrow. She's a lovely mother but her guilt trip worked wonders on my emotions.

There were quite a number of kids from the Home of Affection who were actually visiting family for the day (as today was a public holiday - mid year lunar holiday). So we missed out on saying goodbye to them.

I have some photos to add, but the site is messing me around.

Thankyou to all of you for your support and prayers and encouragement and emails and money and advice and ideas and assistance that was sent our way to help us get here and to help the kids. We are thankful indeed.

goodbye social support
