...So after the museum everyone headed back to the hotel while Marie came with me to get my second rabies shot. (an encounter with a Gibbon in phnom penh, don't worry it was just a scratch!)
We had lunch at a great cafe/restaurant called Ciao, freshened up at the hotel and then jumped in to a mini van to go to the market for supplies to bring to the women at the Unwed Mothers Home of Ho Chi Minh City run by Sister Pascal.
Michael had wrapped some soap donated by Rotary in some gorgeous tissue paper which the girls there absolutely loved as well as our donation of fresh fruit.
When we arrived at the Unwed Mothers Home we talked to Sister Pascal about her help centres and were introduced to the ten women that were staying there, after which we bought some of the trinkets that the women had made (silk quilts, money purses, bracelets, keychains etc) and then went on a tour around the buillding.
We left the home at around 5 and headed to Sue Mckinney's Christmas dinner where we met some rotarians and got a chance to look around Sue's home and see some of the amazing pieces she's colleted.
Our mini van picked us up at 8.30 pm and took us back to the hotel, after which we had a refreshing drink at Ciao (as we've become quite fond of the place) and now we've just got back to get ready for bed and an early start tomorrow to donate wheelchairs.
Merry Christmas everyone!
We'll keep you posted and will be seeing you in a few days!
