This morning we worked at a school for blind kids. The same place that many of the group got massages at in the beginning of our stay in Hue. Split into a fewsmall teams, members from our group worked alongside the blind students. Some sorted straw and bamboo that they use to make toothpicks and chopsticks. Another group moved some roofing materials around. I worked in a line movingheavy rocks. Dave was at the front and he handed them to me, and then I passedthem down the line. A couple of blind student worked next to us. At first I was nervous that someone would get hurt, since the students were blind and wedid not speak the same language. Once we were taught how to say big and smallin Vietnamese it went smoothly. This way the blind person would know what toexpect when being handed a rock. Overall the work went well and we got a lotaccomplished. As most things go here in Hue, Vietnam I sweat like it was my job and today was no exception. I think that the Vietnamese are prettyunderstanding when it comes the amount that most of us sweat. In the afternoonwe taught. Some people went shopping after work while others just cooled downin their rooms.
