the last morning was spent with the children on VS 3 and what a great end to our trip this was. There was once again craft and sport but this morning we also had music and dancing!!

Thursday 12th January - Trek Day

A magnificient trek day! the weather was just about right between sunny and cloudy spells wich meant that walking was bearable. The students walked happily along the countryside path taking in nature and agricultural pointers from our guide. they all carried on smiling (but much quieter) when we started up the hills. A great effort from our students.

Wednesday 11th January

This morning, we visited Vin Song 4 where we were welcomed by the youngest children in the orphanage as the older children were still in school. Lots of painting, drawing and origami were produced while serenaded by Anya and Nicole. In the field behind the main building, a very intense football game took place. This afternoon, we walked around traditional Ba Na villages with the communal house and visited the wooden church.

Tuesday 10th January

The students visited the KonTum museum this morning and learnt a little more about the different ethnic minorities in this region of Vietnam. And had a great time at Vin Song 5 this afternoon, painting, playing football and badminton with the children of the orphanage.

Monday 9th January
