A very sad experience ...
Christmas day we went to visit Ngoc Hong, a student from the Mekong delta. We just got back from a cancer ward at Benh Vien Ung Buou hospital, in Binh Thanh district.
What a shocker, soooo many children, in small rooms, little children ... 20 people adults and kids in one room, parents have to care for everything, ... if you have not seen it, you can not imagine it!!!
Children need an adult look after them, no support from hospital at all. I had my camera with me, but I just could not take a photo, and people who know me know how trigger-happy I can be. That also tells you how I felt about the whole situation.
We did not meet Ngoc Hong, have to contact the parents to find out about her.
A Christmas day experience we will NEVER forget
