Fun Shopping with 21 students ...

25th of September 2014
Early taxi ride to Hope school. The plan is to take 21 Hearing Impaired students to a CoOp supermarket in Binh Thanh district.

21 students, 4 teachers plus us, makes 27 ...
Q: How many taxis did we need ???      A: three !!!

1/2 selfie with 4 students in the back ...

Before we went in we had to take a BEFORE photo ... later on the AFTER photo. 

Can't wait ... take a photo so we can shop !!!

Each teacher got an envelop for every student in her care.

Dairy food section ... milk was one of the preferred items !!!

Nhat had all he wanted ...

After snooping around in the food section we went upstairs to the clothing department to see what the kids are interested in. 

Nice shirt ... and a pair of red shoes ...

Did she like the dress ???  Nooooooo !!!

The twins buying hair products for their mum

Time to go ....

Back in the taxi agian ...

Show and tell ...

 Back at school we all met and the kids showed what they bought. Interesting, some just got food for the family ... or some sweets but most bought useful stuff like clothes and shoes.

Proud ... she got a dress and matching shoes !!!

Lienh got a new dress, it was 7000 VND over her budget.

Yes, it looked like Lienh could not afford her dress, she was just 30 cent short. As she had not bought anything yet we gave her teacher who was looking after the money the 7000 dong.

Thu thanked us on behalf of the students
