Thah and Tam Mai Play after School

"Think About the Children" is a 501(C)3 non-profit organization that was founded by Professor and Vietnam veteran, Dr. Thomas Murray. After serving in the Vietnam War, Dr. Murray felt the need to return to Vietnam to try and neutralize some of the effects of the war by working to help children break the poverty cycle through education.

An open window, a slight breeze, and naptime

We have been spending each day with the Nuns and children of Duc Son. During this time we are developing strong bonds as we play with the kids, help the Nuns, and simply spend time with the Duc Son family. The lessons being learned from these interactions are coming together in the forms of stories, conversations, recorded interviews and photographs to form the project "A Study of Love."

Dancing!
