Finance meeting at HOPE school

We grabbed another "Grab taxi" -( the Uber competition in Viet Nam ) to go to Hope school. 
Bye the way, in Viet Nam Grab and Uber drivers have to have a taxi license, which is displayed in the front window. I think it is a very good idea. 

Anyway, we came to discuss and negotiate the school fees for the new school year 2016 - 17. All students we support receive meals at school. Over the years the daily meal costs has increased.

It was not easy, but we do understand ...

 We had to find a compromise and we did. We have to increase the school fee for the Hope school to $ 450 annually. 
Anyway, it was good to talk about the whole school situation and also about some students, at home and at school. The school is like a big family ... they care and do whatever they can for individual students. It was a long afternoon ... and then we went to the VN version of ...

.... you guessed it: Red Rooster !!!

 It was getting dark by the time we arrived. 
Very nice outdoor restaurant and they had all sorts of dishes ... so we all found something we liked.

Colourful lights set up for Independence Day, 2nd of September.
