Hey,
Sorry its been such a long time since ive updated this! I hope everyone had a good Christmas and a Happy New Year! I spent allot of time this Christmas thinking about all the people i met over in Vietnam, and wondered what they would be up to? Would they be getting all the expensive presents? WIll they be eating massive quantites of food? And will they be surrounded by the ones they love? Sadly i doubt it! This gives me even more determination to go over there and do something! I will be leaving around the 20th of Feb, I have a teachers training course coming up soon! My plans when i get there, will be to spend 2 weeks, simply settling back in. I will find a place to live, and will travel to the orphanage as often as i can. I will be bringing some of my Vietnamese friends with me, as they will come in great use when trying to make conversation.! Also they will get me some good bargins! As soon as a shopkeeper sees a white person the prices are automatically doubled!! I will take photos and upload them as soon as i can whilst over there! I cant wait to see all the kids again! Thanks to everyone who has donated so far! I have around £180 so far, but hopefully due to it being after Xmas, this will increase! Any little helps!! Thanks again, enjoy January! Please feel free to email me if you have any questions! I have put some pictures up to remind you of why i am doing this!
Thanks
Jack Sanderson

Below you can see the children sleeping! Most of them are on the floor, The lucky ones get a bed( 'metal cage' ) The kids in the beds are mostly tied up! Maybe not so lucky after all!
Hey good for you, Jack. You have a great approach. Hope you have a brilliant time, and I know you'll make a difference,

Hi,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Rachel and I'm due to go to the orphanage to volunteer in July and googled it and found your blogs, have really enjoyed reading them and has given me an idea of what to expect! You have a really positive outlook, sounds like the children and young people would love you. I look forward to going over there and hopefully making even a little difference! Keep up the good work :)x
