Appreciation

I was born and raised up in a remote area. I have been living at Vi Thuy Home for the Blind for four years since the age of eight. I am in second grade now. My schoolwork is fine. During the last four years, I have learned many things: living skills, orientation and mobility skills, organ, craft making, core curriculum…

At school, I was an excellent student of the first grade. I got good grades for the latest organ exam. I am ok with craft making. Among subjects, I find hardest with social sciences. Yet I think that the more it is difficult, the more I have to try my best in order overcome it. Parents, Fathers, Sisters, teachers and donors have taught, encouraged me with their hearts, I cannot disappoint them. I believe that without kind arm stretches, I will not become who I am today.

Although I do not see the sun, and my parents as well as many beautiful and colorful things surrounding, I know I still have a pair of eyes of spirit to see life in hopeful green, and how beautiful it is. I am not an orphan, a leftover, a marginalized as many other children in this society.

Thanks be to God, thank you everyone for making a significant contribution to make my and my friends’ lives better. The enormous efforts of Fathers, Sisters, Teachers, and Benefactors I will embed into my heart so that I may live happily. I promise to learn well, obey to the Sisters so that I will be a useful person of the church and the society. I would like to wish Fathers, Sisters, and Teachers and Benefactors abundant health, God’s grace, and a completion the duty which God has given to you.
