With the departure of the first two graduates leaving the Center of Hope in Lap Thach, there were two vacant positions to be filled. One child was admitted in July, a 10 year old girl named Thu. She is still in the process of making the transition to life in a family of 40-some brothers and sisters, so please remember her.

Usually, a child feels very comfortable and happy at the Center of Hope within a one-month transition period, though the dynamics of living in a large group setting can be challenging for longer periods.

GEDA is still reviewing information in the selection process for the second vacancy.
