CHILDREN OF VIETNAM
(A Photograph Album)
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas! I just thought I'd let you see what I've been up to. These pics were taken yesterday, December 22, 2006 at a handicapped center in Ho Chi Minh City. The Vietnamese name for Santa is ông già Nô En. I am where I'm supposed to be and down 127 pounds. My love to you and all!

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exists, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy.
(Editorial in the New York Sun, 1897, responding to a letter from 8-year-old Virginia O'Hanlon)
