Uncle Sam (Sum) Hoang and his boys, Anh Hai, Em and Ba were helpful in getting around on days when biking was too far and showing us their beautiful city. Here he shows respect before the Buddhist alter in the orphanage. Thurs. July 12, 2007 Photo: Ba Hoang

We stopped in during class time, as the orphanage offers schooling through college to all their kids. This is a 4th grade class.

There were about 75 children present during our first visit; these girls are from the 4th grade. Michele’s Uncle Phoung, the former teacher, often visits and teaches at this orphanage. Photo: Lanier Carson
