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.
