The heart warming sight of the disabled children in the orphanage made our eyes fill with tears as we handed them gifts to try and brighten their lives. The smiles on their gorgeous faces were heartwarming as we gave them our time and care. We did many things that ranged from playing soccer games to giving infants massages, while they giggled in our care. It was an emotional experience, which we will never ever forget.
After a long drive through the Cu Chi region we arrived at the hidden tunnels. At first it was quite amazing to see how small the tunnels where, hardly letting us able to kneel in the deeper underground sections. Most people were aching after a small section of crawling though the hand dug tunnels and were so relieved to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Unfortunately we did have a long bus trip that most found incredibly boring however Mr G was able to entertain the hungry monsters that were in need of Fanta and chips with stories and games. As each student stepped off the bus for the final time that day they were all relieved to find a new form of transport – a boat ride to our home stay on the Mekong Delta.
