A Busy, Busy But Good Week

This past week, my dear VSO friend from Hanoi, Pat, was in Hue to conduct some disability mainstreaming courses both with the Hope Center staff and with representatives from the Hue government and NGO communities. The training was focused upon providing participants with a better understanding of disability challenges in Vietnam as well as working together to develop solutions and best practices concerning working effectively with people with disabilities.

In addition to the busy work week, we also made sure we had some time for fun too, including a motorbike ride into the countryside, lots of opportunities for good food and a weekend trip to Hoi An this past weekend.

It was so nice to have Pat here and it was a good week. Although, it was also really, really busy and I am now happy for a few quieter days on my own in Hue working at the Hope Center before I head back up to Hanoi Thursday through Sunday for more work and play.
