WELCOME!

We are a group of college students and professionals from Vietnam and the United States. This summer, we are coordinating a youth program for the children who are living at the Buu Tri pagoda and Hoi Tu Thien orphanages in Can Tho, Vietnam. This blog features a variety of pictures, reflections, profiles, and stories about the fun adventures we are having with the kids this summer. We hope you enjoy the blog and have fun along with us!

Kien: He may be a small guy, but he's got a huge heart!

Let me introduce you to Kien. He's can't be anymore than 3.5 or 4 feet tall, but don't let his size fool you. He's a wild man, and he's got a heart of gold! Always full of smiles and generous with his hugs, he did a great job following along when we learned how to make paper airplanes the other day at HTT. Within the next week, we plan to feature profiles of some of the remarkable kids we are working with this summer, like Kien. Check back soon to learn more!

The guys at HTT all say: "Peace, blog readers!"

Kate! This is wonderful, and I'm proud to pass on your blog to cousin Colleen Quinn Malloy, who JUST adopted a year old daughter from VN, and a cousin-in-law who just returned from VN. He married while there during the war, so her family is still there. I wish you well and great success! Marie Quinn
