A touch from Up North

Xin chào!
This is a quick update with photos when I get back to Hanoi. And the group blog will be followed later.
We have learned how to say Thank you in Hmong language: O'chau!

We were touched by some tiny hands of different ethnic groups in Lao Cai Province. This is how we make the connection with a hand shake.

Hand touch- I wanna hold your hand

Quite a fair amount of work, and much more that we have seen and experienced. And now, we bid farewell to Sapa, to the little Hmong kid. Everyone is so ready for Dong Ha, Quang Tri, where we will spend most of the time doing our volunteer work.
