MY HOME
In September, 2012, my parents took me to Vi Thuy Home for the Blind. I felt everything very strange at first interaction.
I started getting used to with the surroundings: from human, objects, to activities. The Sisters carefully instructed me to familiarize myself with rooms by identifying and safely navigating from one to another; then I learned to get used to with daily activities such as: eating, sleeping, studying, playing, and personal hygiene care.
After one week, I became familiar with the home’s activities, peers, and the Sisters. Currently, I am very much familiar with all activities and I realize that this home is providing me good chances to study and live happily.
I feel lucky to be accepted into this place. The Sisters are taking care us with kindness. I also share lives with other friends having the same conditions with mime as well as with individuals with additional disabilities. The facility is spacy, fresh, and clean enough for us to live and play.
Sometimes we are taken to meaningful community events: Festival for the Disabled, Christmas Eve; and to a funny picnic by which I swam into man-made sea in Suoi Tien Theme Park.
I am very glad to live at this home. I wish the Sisters abundant health to continue taking good care of and educating us; and wish friends good health, submission and well studies. As well, I would like to express my sincere gratitude towards donors for your geneous support. Best wishes to you and your families.
