We were lucky enough to have some friends visiting from Australia so we decide to take them with us to Thanh Son Pagoda.

Truck Greating at the Pagoda

The Pagoda currently has 57 children and 27 old and homeless people. Mixed in with these people are some children with disabilities. The Pagoda is on the way to the airport and about 45 minutes out of Nha Trang City.

We took nappies for the disabled children and also took lots of food.

Peter and Fiona really enjoyed meeting the wonderful people. The children are so friendly and happy. It is always interesting to see what the children are learning.

We were looking in the Pagoda and children come in and started chanting and using different instruments. It was great.

As always it is a humbling experience when people who have so little are so happy for a bit of your time.

We would like to thank Peter and Fiona and Dung, who is staff at Pure Viet Nam Beauty and Spa, for coming with Steve and I.
