After
breakfast we went to an orphanage – Co Nhi Thien Binh. We offered some lollies,
milk and biscuits to the children and senior people in the centre. They loved to receive gifts from people. Thay
praised the children who did well in school this year. Within this orphanage
there is a girl who captured my heart back in 2009. She was not doing well at
school. As I looked at her face all I could see was disappointment. I asked
Fong to give me one Vietnamese Dong note. I called her over and handed it to
her. This note had brightened her face and I gave her a hug. I wish I could
take her back home.
After a sad farewell, we had lunch at Thien Vien Thuong Chieu. It was a nice lunch. I wondered what the children had for their lunch. After lunch we went to visit the leprosy village. Thay led the group in and the head of the villager rang the bell to gather the villagers to receive gifts from us. We also visited Thien Vien Chan Khong and had dinner at Truc Lam Chan Nguyen. We stayed at a beach resort – Sao Mai (Boutique Villas). Each room has its unique name, our room was Mimosa. Inside the room it had a plate of exotic fruits.
