Kids Without Borders Founder Son Michael Pham is currently on his annual fall trip to Viet Nam. Son Michael is known as 'Chu Son' (Uncle) to the children throoughout Viet Nam. You can follow Chu Son on this blog. Here is his first report.
Saturday - October 31, 2009
It's 8am and the crowd starts to grow enjoying the weekend morning public concert on the step of the Opera House. It's a a warm and sunny morning in Saigon. However on the horizon is another typhoon heading toward Viet Nam. It is expected to land in the central area within the next 72 hours, where people are still picking up from the devastating Ketsana typhoon.

I will spend part of the day at the Go Vap Orphanage, and then a brief reunion with nongovernmental colleagues and friends (all of us are members of the Vietnamese American NGO Network (http://www.va-ngo.org/) and we will discuss our work and collaboration on this trip.
