Pictures from the final day at the pagoda

Here are some pictures from the last day of the summer program in Can Tho. This first set is from the pagoda. HTT pictures coming soon. Enjoy!

Ly and Quy (left) and Van Ahn and Vy (right) playing the "balloon game." Teams of two tried to move a balloon from one end of the room to the other--no hands allowed! Will they make it?!


(Left) Little Nhi with the balloons, and doing her own impression of a balloon! (Right) Vu, Quy, and Ly getting ready to play the game.


No celebration is complete without doing the Funky Chicken Dance!


Of course, we also sang a bunch of songs. Vu (left) and Xuan Anh (right) led a couple songs for the group that night.


Lam and I awarded each child a certificate (titled "Awesome Kid Award") and a program T-shirt.


Van Ahn accepting her certificate and T-shirt. She's truly an Awesome Kid!


Van Ahn proudly displaying her certificate.

We also awarded "Terrific Teacher Awards" to the volunteers and staff who were all so critical to the success of the program. Clockwise from the top, here is Thao Candy, Thao Le, Hue, and Minh receiving their awards.


We also had a great dinner that evening. Here are some of the older kids enjoying amazing chicken and rice and washing it down with delicious sugar cane juice.


We indulged in some delicious cake to celebrate the end of the program. Yum!


Here's a closeup of the cake before we devoured it.


Me and Phu with her certificate and T-shirt.


I love this picture of Minh and one of the little gals from the "baby hangout" on the second floor.

What a great group of kids and teachers!
