April 5 - Convent Orphanage for Minorities in Kon Tum


This was another of the orphanages we visited in Kon Tum. They house mostly minority children and it was obvious they are doing a great job with them as evidenced by these smiley faces and great personalities.






Our guide at this orphanage was called away during our tour. That left us with this lovely group of giggling kids...none of who spoke any English. First we tried sign language and then we started picking up things and offering the English word for it with them offering the Vietnamese translation. They were great kids and by the time our guide returned we were all great friends happily singing songs together.



The socialization of these young people is so very important to their future both in school and potential employment. I would say this group is off to a great start.
