APRIL 21, 2017 VISIT TO NHI HA KINDERGARTEN
My return to Nhi Ha included a pleasant visit with the 135 children and staff of Nhi Ha Kindergarten. Visiting the schools and interacting with the kids is a refreshing and rewarding experience that I always anticipate with eager enthusiasm.
Nhung and I were warmly greeted by the school principal, who was standing outside awaiting our arrival. After being served drinks and sitting for a short time, we proceeded to the classrooms.

The principal, Nhung, and I first popped into the youngest class, consisting mostly of two+ year-old kids. It was a bit tough getting these little ones, who seldom see an "outsider", to warm up to me. But,
facilitated by candy, it worked out just fine.

We then proceeded to visit the other classrooms, the age groups advancing with each stop. Teachers and I worked together to distribute treats, with each child receiving a nice handful. We were even treated to songs. Such cute little kids!!

Last fall we supplied three sets of cubbies, 18 compartments to a unit, for this kindergarten. By my calculations, providing one more will allow each student to have the benefit of a compartment shared with one other. Four units at 18/ea = 72 compartments. With two to each compartment, that allows for 144 kids. With about 135 students, it'll work. So, working with Nhung, we'll make this happen.

With a promise to get moving on supplying one more set of cubbies, Nhung and I said goodbye, promised to return next year, and were off into the midday heat.
