Asia party at Convey!!

Okay friends, here's the details:

Party looks like it's more than likely going to be this Saturday at 7pm at the studio.

Here's what were doing:

*Eating
*Story telling of the latest adventures
*What future adventures are ahead
*and....looking at super fab pictures that were created!

We're eating happy Chinese or Vietnamese food! It's your pick. It's going to be family style with a Sesh twist. Before you get to the studio, go to your favorite Chinese or Vietnamese restaurant. Each person needs to bring at least one appetizer:) That should be plenty for us all.

Bring chopsticks if you want, and if you don't know where the nearest Vietnamese restaurant is...there's one on Sunshine.

Well, rock on rock on...but Doug "rick on bud"

Party will be Saturday...unless you hear from me.

Cheers and a big big hug,

Sesha

Tiny Tiny Nut Shell

That is our trip in a tiny tiny nut shell. Our apologies that we are just now getting caught up on the blog, but we hope you enjoy! We are still making our way through tons and tons of photos; there will be more images on our website in the near future. We are very excited about the door that has been opened with Giving it Back to Kids and Convey. There are high hopes that we can use our photographs to benefit the children and the organization. You can expect more goodness from Vietnam!

Vietnam

We spent the least amount of time in Vietnam, but it had an enormous impact on us all. The organization we worked with, Giving it Back to Kids (givingitbacktokids.org), is making a huge impact in the lives of many Vietnamese children and families. Soooo much goodness!!!!

Bruce is an amazing man that is so full of love. He is on the Giving it Back to Kids Board and has impacted so many lives because it is truly is heart and passion.

These little buds performed the cutest dances for us.

The Judge (right) had fought in the Vietnam war. He came back to Vietnam because he felt he had some unfinished business. He was casually chatting with one of his van drivers about his experience in the war when the driver said that his father had fought there as well. The driver gave his father a quick call on the cell phone and it turns out that the Judge and the driver's father had served together during the Vietnam war. The next morning the driver's father made his way to the resort to be reunited with the Judge. It was truly crazy.

Sweet, sweet girl who was met us on our way out of the Father's house.

This is a precious little girl that was in desperate need of a heart surgery. The organization is providing her, along with six others, much needed heart surgeries that otherwise might not be an option. It was emotionally difficult and amazing all at the same time.

Lots and lots of hugs, hard to say goodbye.

Our friend Steve and a few kids from an orphanage we had the privilege of visiting.

The kids LOVED to take photos with out camera.

Back in Hong Kong

The Lomography store...we were all pretty happy about this.

Modern Toilet.

Chiu Jau

Nice and cozy.

Oh Mao.

Gia. He is the sweet little 6 year old boy that Sesha fell in love with a few years ago. Sesha has spent a lot of time investing in Gia and his family. During our visit we saw some of the emotional pain Gia has due to the nevis on his face. Over the next few months we will begin a journey to try and find a surgeon to help remove the nevis.

Gia's sweet and feisty grandma.

Lamo Island

Sesha bought a shirt in Hong Kong that says 'I love pork chop.' I think she was referring to this happy pig.

Friends in front of one of the churches we visited.

Kong Moon

Pastor Charles and Shu Keung, taken after one of our wonderful trips to McDonald's.

Sweet little Esther. Esther is Ah Fat and Jessica's daughter, she turned two while we were in Kong Moon. We had the pleasure of throwing her a birthday party.
