Balloons and Crayons


The children responding very well to all the new stimulation. They are continuing to get fresh fruits, crackers, strawberry soy milk, and other snacks daily. The volunteers bring new treats daily, and the children are eager to try new things.

New toys and activities are also being introduced each day. The children were very excited about balloons. They played with balloons in all of the rooms and the children loved them! They were fascinated when the volunteers started blowing them up. The children of all ages are opening up more with the volunteers and readily approach them for affection. They often hop from lap to lap getting attention.

Another popular activity has been coloring. This was done on two days because it was such a hit. The second day the volunteers had to bring bigger sheets of paper. They are noticing a big improvement in the youngest children. They are more alert, interactive, and playful. They are responding well to the stimulation and play.

One of the volunteers wasn't feeling well this week. She has one more day to visit the center. She will be leaving Vietnam this week. Please keep her in your prayers that she will regain her strength. She will also be leaving the little girl she loves and has been waiting to adopt. Please pray for strength as she says goodbye to this little girl she loves... just for a little while... until she can bring her home!
