Pure Vietnam Beauty and Spa Charity for June - Loc Tho Pagoda
What a fantastic morning! Charity for the month of June was at Loc Tho Pagoda.
We took fake meat, vegetables, fruit, beans and dried mushrooms to eat. This Pagoda has 130 local and orphaned children that attend their school. We are lucky to have friends visiting from Australia at this time and they have four young children. We took our friends to the Pagoda and the Australian children taught the Vietnamese children a song, called mother finger and the Vietnamese children got to show the Australian children some of the songs that I have taught them while I have been teaching English here, head shoulders knees and toes and the hokey pokey.
There was a lot of laughter and fun. The Australian children bought pencils to give to the children of the Pagoda so they could color in.
At the end of the lessons we taught the children how to brush their teeth correctly. As a part of the charity we bought every child a toothbrush (with some extra’s and big tubes of toothpaste as well).
After teaching, while the children had a break, we all played in the playground. It’s amazing how well the children were able to play without having to know the language. The teachers also got to practice their English.
Thank you to our Australian friends. Paul, Nicole, Jasmine and Riley Peacock, Roz and Brian Harmsworth and Pierre, Tracey, Max and Sebastian De Villecourt. Also many thanks to Pure Vietnam staff and friends who came with us.
