The kids at Anh Linh have had tough lives, I met a 20 year old yesterday who is turning gray. His father was put into prison, he was taken to a relocation camp and managed to get back to Anh Linh through the intervention of Cam Thuy. Other kids are living in squalor with relatives because one or both of their parents have abandoned them. Others live with parents who are just scraping by selling noodles in the street, working construction, or selling lottery tickets. Anh Linh school provides a safe haven where these kids can have an education, a haircut, medical care, breakfast and lunch, and play safely with friends. The difference between their lives at school and their lives at home is quite striking as you can see.
