The last day we took the kids at the home of affection to the baby orphanage!
Some kids I met at the white budda in Nha Trang

well I have finally left Tam Ky and it was a an emotional last day but i kinda knew that id be going back to pick up the rest of my bags so it wasn't as bad! Felt really strange leaving though because it did become my home but once again i was stepping out alone to do some travelling with no plan really as to where i was headed! my friend lam booked me a bus ticket for nha trang which is about 500 km south of Tam Ky so i was taken by mrs hahn and anh (a guy [View Full Entry]

well this is it my second to last day of the program!!! only today and tomorrow left and a new volunteer arrives at the house tomorrow ( her name is carrie) i really cant believe how quickly it has gone and i want to stay for much longer! it seems pointless to go back to uni when i could be doing so much better here! but as long as one person leaves another person arrives and it really doesnt make that much difference to the children because they are so used to change anyway! the most important thing (i have come [View Full Entry]

The baby orphanage

today was another early start at the Home of affection which is only about a 5min bike ride away! all five of us (me, robin, abbe, maddie and liane) went and each have our own group! I was teaching 2 boys who are brothers.. Sang and Trang and also 2 girls Linh and Thung. They were from 7 years old to about 10! It was a little difficult at first to keep their attention but after a while they settled down and i soon realised they all had very different abilities! I organised 4 different activities for them for the hour [View Full Entry]
