This post is the continuation of the TET post below ...
By car we drove from Ba Ton to My Trung. Again a lot of traffic, this time we were caught in a traffic jam. We took the ferry across the river and then on the Honda to My Trung church, about 3 k's, on the river banks, a bit scary at times.

Ferry across the Mekong ... then on the ...
... Mekong delta HONDA high way ...
Here are the bicycles we are officially handing over to the kids.
In September we offered and paid for 10 bicycles for the 20 students in My Trung. When the bikes arrived there was a misunderstanding. The bikes were given to the wrong kids. Due to a generous donation from one of our corporate sponsors we were able to buy bikes for the rest of the kids. We came to My Trung to hand the bikes over.
We had lunch with the kids and then we handed the bicycles over to the individual kids.
Dao gave a little speech and thanked us for the educational support and for the bicycles. It was very emotional as she said we were now part of their family.
Doa giving a speech on behalf of the twenty children.
Again, some group photos, and we hopped back in the car ... two and a half hours later we were back in Sai Gon, having a bit of a snooze on the way.
In the boat back to the car. Mind you it was not raining !!!
