Yup! Things are finally looking up with the recent Pfizer announcement!
I want to go back to Hue and re-visit the Buddhist head nun who ran an orphanage there. People would drop unwanted babies in front of her nunnery, and she’d just adopt those children as her own. She runs a vegetable farm near the nunnery, and has set up a school to educate the children. We visited the organic farm, including an awesome indoor one for mushrooms.
One of my friends could not believe the size of the gourd grown here! ![]()
Our tour guide with ears of corn harvested for that day’s lunch:
The head nun, Thích Minh Tú, of the Đức Sơn Pagoda Orphanage Centre, at her mushroom farm.
We were also shown around the nursery (but we didn’t take any photos of the children in there). We were then treated to a simple meal of fried mushrooms. The 6 of us pooled together some money to donate to the nursery.
