Fw: picture of Blake

I was just looking for Aid Expedition blogs as I'm trying to get ideas for
the scrapbook that I am creating.  I saw that Blake is in desperate need
for pictures of himself from the trip.  I have one to add!  Enjoy!

Blake was on this trip too....

As most of you are fully aware, Blake is a saint for being married to me. I just looked through the whole blog and realized that I hadn't put any pictures of sweet Blake on the site. Then I realized that I didn't have any pictures of Blake! But he was there--keeping things running smoothly for the Hays family and for the distribution team. The other two guys in the pic are our friends Pete and Erik.

Even more pictures

The Cao Dai Temple in Tay Ninh
Inside the Cu Chi tunnels. Tri and I look crazy--because we feel crazy in there. Joshua was as happy as a clam!
My new friend, Phuong. She's a Buddhist nun and soon to be my new penpal!

More pictures...random...

Joshua and Long catching jellyfish at the beach. Woman selling char-broiled seafood on a stick at the beach. I ate squid--and liked it!
Tri and Joshua eating yet another bowl of some type of noodle soup!

Flush toilets--these are a few of my favorite things...

One quick story... We American volunteers were ready for a non-stop day of play on the beach. After a couple of hours in the morning, however, the girls from Kien Giang wanted to go back to their rooms. They wanted to take showers and spend time in the "cold room". These girls had never been in a home with a shower--so they kept running in and out of the showers!

They also had never experienced flush toilets. Toilets in rural Vietnam work on a gravity system. The Catalyst social worker, Minh, said that the girls stayed up until 11 p.m. flushing the toilet! Oh the things we take for granted!

A sweet story--Caroline asked one of the girls if she was having fun. She said yes and that she had never had people asking her if she was having fun before.

Kids with Goody Bags!

Picture of Chau My Hong and me

This is Chau My Hong--the previous house pictures in Kien Giang are of her home--beginning to end. She was a very beautiful, sweet girl with a much brighter future because of the Catalyst Foundation.

Pictures from Camp

Making masks!

The kids loved having their pictures taken with polaroid cameras. Most of these kids had never had a photograph of themselves. We made popsicle stick frames for the photos.
EVERYBODY LOVES TWISTER!

Camp for 300 kiddos in Long Hai

After work in Kien Giang, Dong Thap, and a day in Saigon--we met 300 kids from the aforementioned provinces and programs in Long Hai for the Catalyst 2 day Summer Camp.

This is where we gave out the goody bags, played games on the beach, did lots of arts and crafts, played twister and jenga, made friendship bracelets, and generally gave a bunch of kids a real good time!

A highlight for me was seeing the girl whose house I had worked on for 3 days in Kien Giang. It seemed to be a highlight for her too--because she came running and screaming and gave me a big hug. Made me feel so great!

Tri's take on the trip

Hey,

Alright here goes as much as I can remember.  At the island that we stayed at we just kind of hung out to  get ready for the main trip.  The next day we went to the poorest province (state)--Kien Giang.  We distributed bikes, rice, beans, candy, and toys to the kids that lived there.  They lived literally in a garbage dump.  At the Dong Thap province, we got to ride motorcycle/car vehicles called tuk-tuks.  Tuk-tuks have a lot of space so we can travel around in small areas where buses can't go.  We distributed the same things at the school there.  We mainly distributed stuff to girls. 

 

I played soccer with the kids at every province.  They didn't play with shoes and they were really good.  At the camp the kids from all the different provinces came.  We played games and sports.  Joshua and our friend, Long, caught jellyfish and put them in a bucket.  We dug a little jellyfish pool and put water and jellyfish in it.  There was not enough water and different parts of the jellyfish were sticking out of the water, which is not good for them.  Atleast 5 kids and some Vietnamese kids helped us dig out the pool and add water to it.  Our best friend, Long, can sing the best I've ever heard a 9 nine year old sing.  He does the perfect imitation of Alvin and the Chipmunks singing.  By the way, we went to a place called the Tax Market in Saigon.  We bought Alvin and the Chipmunks movie for one $. 

 

Eighty percent of the people in Vietnam rode motor scooters.  Ten percent rode bikes and ten percent rode cars.  Our family made a grown up friend named Eric.  We went to his parents' house and he let me and Joshua drive a moped!  I made it go really fast past my mom who was standing on the road.  We also went to a place called the Cao Dai temple.  Every day there are four services and they last about forty-five minutes!  At the Cu Chi tunnels we learned much about Vietnam and the amazing tunnels that they built to sneak attack the American army.  They also used the tunnels for protection and they could fit a maximum of 10,000 people in the tunnels.  We went through the tunnels and they were so small.  My dad had to squat and walk at the same time just to get through the tunnels.  Joshua loved to go extra far with the tunnel guide, who I think he liked.  By the way I ate two more bowls of pho!

 

The food both amazes and disgusts me there!  Overall though--the food was really good!  I felt really happy to help the really poor kids and it was a really good experience.  I liked the trip a lot!!  Bye,

                                                                              -Tri

Kien Giang House

I spent 3 days building a house for a family in Kien Giang. The house was built on the site of their original home that had apparently been destroyed by storms, weather, and wear. The family consisted of a mother, father, 13 year old daughter, 11 year old son, and 9 year old son. The mother and father worked alongside us. I'll always remember the mother hauling concrete or sand from the street through little paths to the home--barefoot and smiling the whole time.

Above are pictures of the house at the beginning and middle. Also pictures of the mother and father. And a picture of the daughter. The daughter is in Catalyst Foundation's scholarship program--so one day she came home with her new bike and supplies. One thing about the house...when I first saw the size and setting of the house that we were building I couldn't believe that this was an improvement. It's a two room very small home in the middle of a haphazard graveyard. But these people were so happy to have this new home.

Info about the kids pictured below

All three of these children attended the camp that we held at Long Hai the weekend of March 28-30th. I have good memories of the little boy pictured playing in the ocean and laughing the whole time. The flirty little girl that you see--I played "this little piggy" with her a bunch and she thought that was the funniest thing! She also enjoyed having her picture taken, making a beaded bracelet, and playing games.

The girl with the bicycle is one of the girls who received a new bicycle, beans, noodles, 10 kilograms of rice, and a fun bag. It was so great to see those shiny new bicycles at some of the homes there in that awful dump.

Pictures from the Kien Giang garbage dump

Many of the children in Kien Giang who are participating in the scholarship program live in the dump. Literally in the dump--and they pay rent to live there. There are lights over the trash piles so that the people and children can pick through the trash at night. Then they sell things that they find for money. The government will soon cover up this dump and then the families will be homeless. Catalyst Foundation is building homes in what is called the Rainbow Village for these people. They are partnering with Habit for Humanity in this endeavor.

One thing that was remarkable about visiting this terrible place was the smiles and greetings of the people that we met there. That evening I was talking with the boys about it and I said--"that made me sad". Joshua said, "Caroline said don't be sad, because we're helping them."

So I'm telling you--"Don't be sad--we'll help them."
