I thought I would post a few photos for all of you to see some of the kids we get to play with. The kids in this photor are from the Baby Orphange where we go everyday. There are so many kids there that all want attention. Kenny has made it his mission to give as much attention as possible to the kids who are quieter or more shy and don't seem to get quite as much notice as some of the others.
We only go to the Social Support Center on Tuesday and Thursdays but it is one of my favorite places to work. Most of the kids are from minority tribes that live in small villages and since being place here the kids have been learning Vietnamese as their second language. Most are here because their parents cannot afford to take care of them.
What a cheeky little tyke. Quang loves to color and will spend hours coloring or reading whatever books we bring.
Ny, the one in the back, is by far the most smily and easy going child at any of the orphanages we visit. She is willing to share any toy she is playing with and that is a true rarity for these kids who only get a few hours of "toy time" a day. She also is the first to comfort any of the kids who might be crying, most commonly because a toy was snatched from their hands. The other little guy usually falls asleep a few minutes after we arrive which is surprising considering all the screaming from the other kids.
This sweet little girl, Trinh, is a real charmer and loves to mimic the older kids or volunteers. She has a laugh that makes you laugh too and seem to be very smart, although I can't understand a word she says.
Tien is about one and a half and we are trying to make a referral to Operation Smile in order for him to have surgery on his cleft palatte and lip. Van, the other baby, lights up whenever a volunteer walks into the room and tries to take good care of the tiny babies when they are crying.

They are so cute. I hope you are successful in arranging for the little one's surgery.
