Susan, Paul, Wayne and
Peter sponsored the construction of Son Ca II as of the early beginning. $2.500
was a quite significant amount of money (at least for individuals), which
helped us to get the things started.
Thanks so much guy’s!

Bob is a US Army Veteran
of Vietnam. He wrote a book (Chapter One - The Story of Vic Charles)
based on real and fictional accounts that took place in the early 70’s in
Vietnam, also featuring our orphanage, where Bob used to bring the
laundry of his comrades from Camp Eagle where he was based.
The story is a about the
way Vic Charles experiences life 20 years after his return to the
Country. Experiences shared by many other Vietnam Veterans. Several
flashbacks bring the reader back into to the scene of Huê
in ’69 & ’70. A very interesting book for many reasons.
The book is currently awaiting a new publisher but
the version one (the old version) is still available at: https://www.createspace.com/3429156

Bob had tried many years to get back in contact with
our orphanage. On May 19th, 2008, Bob
sent us an e-mail. The picture of the church taken in ’70 he sent us was definitely
ours. Bob and his Vet-friends have offered a financial gift that helped us
in buying a washing machine and a cooker.
Bob is truly committed to us. His January 2009 trip
will be his first trip back to Vietnam and he will definitely
be coming back to our orphanage.
Bob has also contributed to the English version of
this website.

Many thanks to Bob and the US Veterans of Vietnam.
