Ba Ton and Kinh Gay, Mekong Delta

Every year we visit the children who are supported by CVSG through our sponsors. We interview the students to find out how they are going. The half yearly school reports are provide by the students which enables us to see how they have performed in the last six months. The results give us an idea what is going on. For instance one boy's average dropped from 7.5 to 5 ??? Our Vietnamese interpreter asked him what is going on. He is bullied at school. Teacher intervened. Bullying stopped at school, but after school the boy gets beaten by three older boys. We will report that to our coordinator and hope that something can be done about it.

Interviewing Tra. He is now in year 10, his average about 9. His English is great, he greeted us in English and most of the conversation was in English. What a fine young man.

This is Ngoc Hong. in 2012 she had bile cancer, she had to go to Sai Gon once a month to have chemo therapy. We helped the parent with paying all the bills.
Today she is a beautiful young woman, a lot more outgoing and she wants to study tourism.

Before we left some of the students thanked us in a little speech. Tra spoke in English, just brilliant. They wished us good health, happiness and said they would pray for us and asked us to come back next year.
