The right to feel safe

It just happenned yesterday http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/mall-in-columbia-on-lockdown-amid-reports-of-shooter/2014/01/25/4b3e8fb2-85e2-11e3-b85b-b305db87fb90_story.html The right to feel safe The right to bear firearms is ensured by our Constitution. Yes, we have the right to protect ourselves but we also need a right to feel safe at home, at school, at work, on the street, in a crowd, in the communities. You do not want to be a victim of firearm violence or crime; neither do I. Thus, I believe in tightening gun control laws and making them more strict. It should be difficult for one to get a gun, and impossible for just about everyone to get military-style weapons such as semi and fully automatic high-capacity ammunition weapons in our nation. Today in our country, there are too many victims of gun violence because we make it too easy for dangerous people to get dangerous weapons. Nearly 100,000 Americans are shot each year, in which more than 30,000 people died...

a beach trip for the orphans

Image
A group of 57 children from Vinh Son orphanage, Kontum and adult supervisory attended the 3 day Beach Trip to Nha Trang this year. This trip was a special gilf from FoCH, Inc., a group of nice Americans who have a deep love for the unlucky Vietnamese orphans. This is to report that the children, the nuns, as well as my two daughters and I have all returned safely and tired after a beautiful trip. The 2007 Beach trip has ended. The bus departed from Kontum early in the morning down to Nha Trang.  The Saint Joseph Seminary there offered the children rooms and food during time they stayed in Nha Trang. The first day we visited Hon Chong beach of Nha Trang. The afternoon was most beautiful, blue sky and beautiful blue green water. The beach sand was very clean and bright and the shoreline was edged with many large and beautiful rocks and boulders. After the exciting day the children all had dinner at the seminary. The Fathers there helped us to order the food fo...

my angel

You are 14th.  Looking at you growing up I realize just how fast time is going by. I still remember the day I felt there was a small angel in me. I and your dad were so happy but also very anxious. One day, two days then three days...you grew in me, bit by bit. Then I had to stay home to rest and to protect you from many kind of sickness I might get from work. Your grandparents asked me eat everything they believed that made you smart and pretty. They were right. I took Prenatal care everyday. You were still growing in me everyday and then came first day I could feel your movement. I saw your small hands touching me, you little feet kicking. And I know I love you so much. Sometimes I could catch your elbow. That was so wonderful....the biggest joy and happiness God gave me and all the women in the world. Then I came to know my angel was a baby girl. I was so anxious when the doctor moved the camera on my belly. But thanked God. I finally had a little duck in me. Ultrasound re...

my home land

That was Long Ho village, an old village on the bank of Huong river - just a few miles from Hue, a lovely village with a peaceful life. When I was a little girl I came there often. Many years have passed, so many things have changed but the dream-like memory of that small village is still vividly in my heart and the warm atmosphere of the evening there seep into my mind each time I feel tired of the urban life in Saigon city. Every evening, when the sun had just set behind Ngu Binh hills, all around us we could see the farmers walking home from the fields, tired after a long day of hard work. Some dogs were running toward their owners, wagging their tails and barking happily. The buffalos which had pulled plows along with the farmers during the hot day passed us on the way to the stables. High a top of one buffalo a boy play a lazy song with his bamboo flute as the animal slowly plodded onward. Far away, some cows were chewing the fresh grass. Here and there, kids were flying kites.....
