Day 8: 02 Nov (Sun) - Farewell, Visit Orphanage, Cruise Dinner

Dear Parents and Students

Today marked the last night we are going to spend at Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The past 8 days have been awesome and fantastic. Friendship were forged and tie between the two schools were strengthened.

I believe that the students have learnt and grown during the past 8 days of immersion programme.

In the morning, we have our farewell at Nguyen Gia Thieu High School and then followed by a visit to the Orphanage, Trung Tam Nuoi Duong Bao Tro Tre Em Go Vap, in the afternoon. Thereafter, the students have dinner on a cruise ship.

As the teacher-in-charge of updating the blog, I felt apologetic for not being able to upload the tons of good photos today. Here are some photos to whet your appetite,

Finally, credits go to the teachers who had helped to take the photos during the last 8 days especially the energetic Ms Daphne Chong,
