Happy Teacher's Day

Today is Teacher's Day in Vietnam, a fact I was ignorant of until this morning. I woke up to several nice emails from my students in Thanh Hoa, wish me health and happiness. It was the perfect way to start my day. I'm so grateful for all the students and what they have taught me and I'm so glad that I have made some impact on them. That they haven't forgotten me or my love for them, makes me happy.

The kids and I are currently pondering ways that we can do more. It was an amazing experience to live in Vietnam and to feel like we were making some sort of difference. For me and Stuart, being here leaves us feeling a bit empty and lost. We're trying to figure out a way to do more without more money. Heck, I can't even pay my meager rent these days, I surely can't be handing out money. But, maybe there's something we can do. Any ideas?
