April 23, 2017 1650 Vietnam Time Hoi An

APRIL 19 VISIT TO MR. THUONG

Mr. Thuong and his wife greeted Khanh and I with their usual broad smiles.  Due to Khanh’s busy schedule, our visit was rather brief. I bestowed as gifts a variety of plastic containers, including ice cube trays, to accompany the fridge that we provided last year.  More hugs and handshakes marked our departure, as we vowed to return in 2018.  We have provided substantial assistance for Thuong, who has mere stubs for hands, during the past three years. This has allowed him to create a stable and secure environment for his family.

Thoung doesn’t let his disability get him down, that’s for sure! It’s amazing how innovative, hard-working, and productive one can be in the absence of responsibility-draining government handouts, huh? No “entitlement” mindset here...refreshing.
