"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all." These words of Helen Keller inspire me. Starting 2011 with an adventure to Vietnam and Cambodia, I want to share my views - words and photos.

March 2 Friday we wrap up workshop
Friday March 2, 2012 Pediatric Hospital Saigon
What a fun way to wrap up the lecture portion of the workshop! Judy gives her wonderful talk; “The How and Why of Toys”. This makes me realize why I am constantly re-organizing our “therapy kitchen”. Having toys in order makes the whole process of Auditory-Verbal Therapy go more smoothly.
A Question and Answer session with case presentations gives the participants a chance to discuss the things the have been thinking about during the week. Also, gives time to clear up some of the translation confusions!
All feeling a sense of friendship by the end of the week, we feel their trust in accepting our “new ideas”. Because we’ve been able to do more “hands on” activities, we feel satisfied that they have some practical ideas to take into their next therapy sessions.
The participants take a post-test and correct each other’s papers. Now the fun begins! What did our students learn? How did we do as instructors? What can we improve?
