So a few weeks ago, we were decluttering around the house and there were just a ton of stuff we wanted to let go. Most were toys that my kids have outgrown and a stroller. So remembering Helping HOW, that is also supporting an orphanage in Go Vap District, I decided to contact it’s co-founder, Hillary Brown.
We are happy that our stuff found new kids to play with.
This orphanage is home to 22 kids run by nuns.
Found this baby bouncer from a neighbour leaving for another country.
Our boys were very happy to see that other kids enjoying their toys that this coming August, instead of a huge party for our eldest’s 7th birthday, we’re planning to visit the orphanage.
We’re keeping our fingers crossed that the kids will be happy to see us too!
If you feel like sending some of these kids some love, email me at hellosaigoncity@gmail.com.
Hello Saigon! 
I live in Florida, but have been in Saigon, oooppps Ho Chi Minh City. Have just published a book The Bamboo Bends, by A.Cavanaugh Johnson about Vietnam in 1975, just after the US troop pullout. It isn’t political, just some memoirs etc. of a man who lived there. If you ever need any info from this part of the world contact me. I enjoy your Blog and am an avid reader. spensersummer@aol.com.
