We were more than 85 people to share a special lunch for the new year on Sunday 5th February. We celebrated the arrival of spring in a joyful atmosphere, in the red and gold lights of the Hoi An lanterns, the silks of Hanoi and the spicy flavours of the 3 regions that we could find at our buffet.
Thuy An, our orphan from Hoa Mai Cân Tho, received a very warm welcome and offered us a moving song about "long me" (a mother's heart) with her accent of the Mekong delta. THe song was followed by many more for all and accompanied by our musician friends Jean Pierre Gonin with his harp and Hiên Dassy with her violin.
A lot of people visited the stalls and the day was a real success although rainy. Our benefits will allow us to improve the living conditions in our 3 orphanages. A big thank you to all who participated to the event and who helped to prepare it!
