Duc Son is no ordinary place&#8211;from the minute we walked across its polished floors we literally felt surrounded by love and warmth. \u00a0 With little resources the nuns at Doc Son don&#8217;t wait around for donations&#8211; they run a cafe to bring in funds in addition to a wood workshop where they create beautiful handicrafts. Their vegetable garden was meticulous kept and tended and provides food for the children throughout the year. \u00a0Minh proudly walked us by the rows of bikes used daily by a portion of the children who attend secondary school. \u00a0When we asked if they needed more&#8230;we were met with a resounding &#8220;YES!&#8221; After bargaining in the local markets we returned 2 days later with the shiny bikes. \u00a0Thank you again to Jamie Shoemaker, Joanne, Steve and Marcie from Child&#8217;s Play &#8211; Rochester, NY.<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both;
