Time Has Moved On
I don’t know where the time has gone since I last wrote some words for our Home Page!!!!! I guess if you all keep up with the Latest News on our website – you will realize that the wheels of life have far from stopped here in Ho Chi Minh City!
When time does move on – it is very encouraging and heartening to see such beautiful ‘shifts’ within the learning lives of the kids in our care. Their positive progress is a delight to experience and we consider it a treat and a privilege to watch headway into so many areas of their lives.

From and To
• learning to speak/read/write (in braille), sing and play English
• being able to climb over/around play-ground frames – because your school has them
• balancing dexterously- despite physical disabilities - on safe, therapeutic equipment
• creating satisfying and exciting art ‘results’
• looking at the key-board of a new computer for the first time and you’re already in Year 5
• going to kindergarten and receiving the best care and guidance in early education – all day
• realizing that it’s easy to work an industrial sewing machine and maybe this is your future work – regardless of the fact that you are gloriously Down Syndrome
• swimming for the first time in your life and moving on from grabbing your helper’s hand in alarming fear - to then ‘swimming’ alone and confidently
• staying awake all night with excitement because from tomorrow you will have your own(new) bicycle to ride to school
• not having to drop out of school because your parents have been boosted with significant help from a generous Scholarship
In the past weeks LVAP has reaped the fruits of seeds sown in 2011 – with three new Official Openings of new projects: others are pending for this year……… This is exciting – nevertheless the BEST fruit is what eventuates when new projects begin and ‘older’ projects are enriched in so many ways.

‘Come to the edge’, he said. They said, ‘We are afraid’.
‘Come to the edge’, he said. They came. He pushed them………. and they flew.
