Today Jazzy had several workshops including martial arts, Vietnamese dance, art, Vietnamese Market and Language. The kids were taught a couple of Vietnamese phrases and then had to use those phrases to "buy" items with fake Vietnamese money in the Market. Jazzy purchased a couple of coin purses, necklaces, and rings.
Vince and I were at the adult workshops with adult adoptees from Operation Babylift, therapists who spoke about various adoption issues, as well as successful professional "boat people" telling their horrendous stories of coming over on a boat in the 1980's.
Later, we attended the "gala" where the kids performed martial arts and dance. They also had face painting, a silent auction, and a carnival.

Jasmine and her counselors
Duy Nguyen and Jazz- her favorite counselor from last year. Jasmine was sad when she found out he was assigned to the 5th graders this year.
