The current Nam Dinh orphanage

This is where my son came from. This orphanage is only for babies. It is very small and very poor, but the caregivers seem to do a good job with what they have.




The new Nam Dinh orphanage

This is the building that will soon be the Nam Dinh orphanage for babies and for older kids. More than 1/2 of the funds raised here will contribute to making that happen. France and Italy have also given large contributions. According to my coordinator in Vietnam, the Nam Dinh orphanages are very poor because they are so far away from Hanoi and tourists and those that donate rarely go there.
