Arrived Hue on Thurs Nov 27. A friend of our niece who is local helped take us to Duc Son Orphanage near Hue. It is home to around 200 orphaned children. We are told by Ni Su Minh Tu and volunteer helpers that most of young children were abandoned at birth or from families too poor to support them.
Quite many of children are twins. We have no doubts that they are cared by good-hearted and dedicated people but we feel that they are always hungry for food, but so innocent ...
The most practical givings are money with the hope to get some extra millk for the young infants and rice for the older kids. It's also right to split a little to give to the helpers who care for the kids every minute of their life... We left feeling heavy-hearted and hope these kids will find their own parents some day...
