I am pleased to share with you the last issue of our local newspaper,  Copper River Record, featuring my recent trip to Vietnam. Matt Lorenz, editor, invested much time and effort in creating this well-written, in-depth article. Thanks to Matt for his fine work and for allowing me to share this issue of the Copper River Record. A pat on the back for Matt!

I am pleased to share with you a video involving our effort in the rural Hue area, as well as visits to Hearts for Hue projects. The assistance of Khanh, chairman of Hearts for Hue, is essential for our success. Vy, also of Hearts for Hue, is to be commended for compiling this excellent video.

I just was made aware of a recently-published article in Thien Nien News bearing a May 1 date.
This article is written by An Dy, the reporter who accompanied us to visit Lady The, Son's mother.

Folks, we are building bridges well beyond what any government program could even touch. This inspires me to push forth with renewed vigor. Thanks for being a part of it all.  For being just a small operation, we're really shaking the bush over there.  Helping and healing...

Thanks to everyone who has followed the story of Son and who has contributed to our humanitarian effort. Our positive impact in Vietnam has exceeded my wildest expectations...and we're still rolling.
