How far along is your project up to date?

Ian, I came across this site as a result of a search I placed on "orphanages in VN". I am planning on going back to VN at the end of the year to volunteer at an orphanage to teach the children basics of mathematics and the alphabet (quoc ngu). My intention was to volunteer in the city where I was born in order to keep a close distance to my relatives, but your project seems to have sparked my interest. Can you please send me some additional background/information? My time frame (in terms of going back to VN)is flexible as I can request a leave of absence from my firm at any given time. Look forward to hearing from you! Cheers, Tara
