One of our screening locations was an orphanage in Phu Loc managed by a group of Catholic Nuns. They were wonderful hosts. There are several dozen kids there, including some who are deaf and others with mental retardation or similar problems. It was a very special experience to be there and spend time with the kids before and after the screening. The Sisters served us a delightful lunch -- as good as in any restaurant!
This orphanage gets very little help from the outside, and they will appreciate any donations, which I plan to work on upon our return to the USA. (I have a list!)
Although the photo above doesn't relate directly to our eye mission, I am sharing it with you anyway!

Hi Rich;
Thank you for sharing your experiences in Vietnam. What a wonderful trip you had. It is heartwarming to see how the IAO will be continuing to assist these communities and how grateful the people are for that assistance. Let me know how I can help from out here in San Francisco. Hans
