Let the good work begin ...

Yes, the new school year has begun and we are talking to our contacts at schools and organising a trip to the Mekong Delta and going to the opening ceremony at the Hope school for hearing impaired children in Benh Thanh district. 

We decided to buy books as presents for our students in the Mekong Delta ... and this is what we ended up with ... 2 cartons of books, pretty heavy, but we are going by car so it does not really matter. 
Our friend PJ located a book store for us. We bought 62 books / booklets for the students / kids in the Mekong delta. 

One of the books we bought ...

Every year we bring pre-loved lap tops for the students. this time we also needed power adapters for two lap tops. Our VN daughter Hoan  was happy to help so she picked me up at the Peace Village to go computer gear shopping.

Ain't she sweet ...
Hoan did a good job, she rang another store to compare the price and then we negotiated and saved about 5 $$$.

And a day is not complete without a visit to the Peace Village. 

Thao has grown a lot and is moving around freely ... she speaks little English

Hiep is getting bigger ...
