| 18th July 2008 Kristen | bruised, not broken - From: Living With A Broken Heart From Nguyen's pictures, it is nearly impossible to tell that she is teetering on the edge of life. Thank you for sharing her story as a reminder of our own, as Shannah said, quality of life and how we live each day! |
| 18th July 2008 Kristen (fellow bridesmaid) | inspiring is an understatement - From: Meeting Nguyen Sherry - I have known you through J and S for a few years, and knew of your world travels, but I never knew that this is what you were doing. Clicking into your travelblog has truly inspired me and I am fully addicted. This story is truly one of the most amazing things I've ever read, and I cannot believe you are there to witness this. Wow. Just wow. Kristen |

| 24th April 2008 Hayden Jones | Appendix removal in Da Nang - From: Da Nang Hospital Hi - I had my appendix removed in a Hospital in Da Nang and the hospital could not have been nicer. Clean, efficient service, Dr spoke english, and refused a gift of $200 cash on my leaving. The whole operation cost only about $150. |
| 21st April 2008 leslie jane | what a crew! - From: Meeting The Trees In The Forest this is sooo wonderful to meet more of the other volunteers. i did not realize there were so many people involved. it helps to round out the scene, so to speak. how very fortunate for all of you to have all of you! and i mean EVERYONE! kids and adults, givers and receivers...i am sure the giving and receiving goes both ways on many levels. i can't believe you are now in scotland. |
| 21st April 2008 mark | the sweethearts - From: Workshop! "Disability is not a brave struggle or courage in the face of adversity. Disability is art. It is an ingenious way to live." Beyond argument the Sweethearts demonstrate this truth. |
| 20th April 2008 Greg | YOUNG LOVE - From: Meeting The Trees In The Forest Great blog Sherry however there were just a couple of omissions. You forgot to mention the young love at Third sight that developed before our eyes with Sherry and ???????. It was so nice to see. Also the Salsa dancing class with the locals after Karaoke night. Sherry had them all up moving their hips, well done. Good luck with planting trees in Scotland |
| 19th April 2008 Shannah | Simply beautiful - From: Workshop! I LOVE THE CHOPSTICK VASE!!! What a creative idea. Though you are only there for a short time, you know that you are leaving the people you have met with knowledge and skills that we help them to continue on with the work you have shared! |
| 19th April 2008 Shannah | The saying is perfect - From: Living With A Broken Heart Your blog makes me think of the quality of one's life. It is not how long you live on this earth that defines your life. It is what you do in your life your life that does. We should all live our lives being okay saying "If I were to die tomorrow, I would have lived a good life." |
| 19th April 2008 Shannah | differences - From: Seeing Strength, Not Weakness after reading your blog, it really hit me how much we complain in this country. about everything - traffic, tax rebates, gas for our enormous SUVS. But in all these complaints, people don't realize how fortunate they are to have jobs to sit in traffic to get to, or pay checks that come to get rebates from and SERIOUSLY car payments that are mortgage payments to some people to put the over priced gas into..... it is refreshing to hear that there is a group of people that don't complain when they don't have legs to walk on for crying out loud! I am happy that you have met them. |
| 19th April 2008 Shannah | Moving - From: Meeting Nguyen WOW! It is painful to read and see such hurt and dispair. I can't even to begin to imagine how it feels to actually be there and witness life like his in person. I commend you for your efforts and for your drive to wake up each day and continue to do the work you do! |
| 19th April 2008 Shannah | Growing Opportunity - From: New Faces! I am always amazed by people's visions. Some people strive for big houses, big bank account and fancy cars, but what do these things truly give a person. Heip's vision is not only a portrait of a beautiful landscape, but a dream that will pay it forward to others. It is truly amazing what he has accomplished! And boy does he has some bisceps! |
| 19th April 2008 Shannah | Finally I am catching up!!! - From: Happy Birthday Karen Hey Chica! You look beautiful. The flowers are so vibrant and I do LOVE fresh flowers. It looks like Karen had a fantastic birthday! But who wouldn't have a good time with the Squirrel in town!!!!!! |
| 17th April 2008 eb | quality control! - From: Workshop! that's my little task-master. I love the chart. A chart is a beautiful thing!! i wish i was there to help, looks super fun! |
| 17th April 2008 the soul cultivator | A stitch in time..... - From: Workshop! Great work Sherry as always... I love the chopstick vase. May I just add that the online business is a great idea, and I have been amazed that the local post office in Hoi An was regimental in getting my parcel home (UK) in 5 days! I wish the project much luck....Sweet Hearts all of you. |
| 15th April 2008 leslie jane | - From: Living With A Broken Heart a BEAUTIFUL smile which no doubt adds one facet of life to her years, along with everyone else's!!! Such an important thing to keep in mind!!! Thanks to Stephen Wante for reminding us! |
| 14th April 2008 Leigh | - From: Seeing Strength, Not Weakness Hi Sherry, I' m back home in safe , easy Australia but deeply effected still by the amazing people I had the fortune to meet in the disabled womens' group.

| 9th April 2008 leslie jane | - From: Seeing Strength, Not Weakness the need is so overwhelming. What "strength in numbers" through all of the converging organizations that are giving these communities a chance...i am sort of speechless after reading both the children and the adult stories. What another wonderful soul you have met! First Karen / Lifestart Foundation, and now Dr. Josh / The Hoi An Foundation. Will we ever see you again, Squirl??!!! |

| 8th April 2008 Lauren | Angels - From: Meeting Nguyen Sweetheart-this made me cry when I read it. I can't even imagine how he must feel and what big impact one hour a day is having on him.

Much Love, ~L xoxo |
