Final Presentations

Pictured here are most of the student presentations. For some reason I missed getting a shot of Anna Nguyen's, but she did a very nice summary of her work at Duc Son Orphanage playing with the kids on that program. The PHO poster below was not an ad for noodle soup but was Amy and Daisy's poster of their work on public health outreach through their visits and study of the free public clinics established throughout Vietnam, especially around Hue. Giosep surprised us all by breaking out with a Christian rock song in Vietnamese. Andrew presented a summary of his research and practice of Vietnamese traditional martial arts, while Connie and Miguel presented ideas from their paper on how the past is remembered in Hue. Collin entertained us with a brief tour of American nationbuilding efforts in Vietnam's past after John and Hue gave us an exciting, musical powerpoint on Hue's special cuisine. Gini closed out the affair with four very tranquil yet exciting songs that she learned to play on the dan bau instrument pictured here. We concluded the day with an ice cream party at one of the biggest cafes in Hue that serves this amazing array of French style ice cream and sorbet. The Vietnamese language teachers Huy, Huong, Phuong and Ngoc joined us.
