Subject: Day 5
Hello Fellow
Americans!!
I'm having a
great time and am exhausted!! Today was spent doing the medical and
dental checkups at the Little Rose Warm Shelter. There are 60 girls
living there that have all been sexually abused. They also brought kids
from other shelters. All will join us for camp. The girls were all
very sweet and happy to have all our attention. After the checkups were
complete, we sang and danced and had a tour of their rooms. They served
us a very nice lunch then we headed back to the hotel for much needed
showers. Then back to the Shelter for a "show" - they girls
performed several songs and dances. Then a very nice, catered dinner, a
few more songs (these people LOVE to sing) and then back to the hotel.
We leave here
tomorrow morning at 5:00 am (!!!!) for Nha Trang. It will be a 9 hour bus
ride. The kids will also take buses. Then we'll split into
"family units" of about 20 kids. We'll be with that group for
the whole camp.
The food here is
great, especially the fruit and bread! I do miss my Diet Coke
though! I'm having serious caffeine withdrawals.
Glad to hear
from you all. Check out our pictures on our blog spot.
Chao Ban!
