My son and I have joined the Catalyst Foundation for the 2010 Vientam Aid Expedition. This will be our 5th trip to VN and we are so excited to be returning. I can't wait to jump on the back of a motorbike, eat some pho and drink some bia hoi. We are also looking forward to helping the children attending the Catalyst school in Rach Gia. Let the adventures begin...

Even More Random Photos

This was the great "chicken game". The VN kids against the VN American kids in a good old fashioned game of "catch the chicken":
It was great fun... and yes, we later ate the chickens for dinner:
People from the community came by to cop a squat and watch the activities at the school:


The VN kids were such great "liner upers". The VN American kids... well, not so much:
Nice friendly game of tug of war... in 104 degree temps over hard concrete... good times ;-)
The boys trying some sort of new VN food item... apparently Cameron was less than impressed:
This one probably needs explaining. Ashton lost his tooth... so we found out that there is a tooth fair of sorts in Vietnam. It is the Tooth Mouse. The mouse came and saw Ashton's tooth (in the soap box below) and left him a hundred thousand dong. Ashton was expecting US dollars... and was less than impressed with his dong... even though I explained to him that it would be silly to expect the VN Tooth Mouse to leave USD and that Dong was better than dollars... while in VN:
The VN girls with their new hairbows/rings we made during Arts and Crafts time:
They LOVED them:
So pretty in their hair:

Ashton helping with the rice, noodles, baby formula distribution:
