Moon Festivities

On Saturday evening Thien Nhan joined dozens of well-wishers and other kids at a pre-Mid-Autumn Festival Moon Party, hosted by Hanoi's Le Club. Everyone who attended enjoyed the entertainment and excellent food, including traditional fruit carvings. The kids were mesmerized by the songs and colored lanterns, while the adults helped to raise money for Thien Nhan's US trip via a charity auction. Sadly, following a stressful week of medical tests, Thien Nhan came down with a fever and had to leave the party earlier than he'd have liked to. He's now resting up to get back in shape for his long trip to Seattle on August 14th.

Mid-Autumn Festival

Since Thien Nhan will be seeing doctors in the US during the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival, the generous owners of the Le Club in Hanoi have decided to throw him a pre-moon Moon Party. Tomorrow (7pm Saturday Aug 9th) night, kids of all ages are invited to join Thien Nhan for moon cakes and a lantern procession at the Le Club, 162 Phuong Liet, Truong Chinh Street, Hanoi. Please call Ms. Thu Hang for details: 868-9568. The party organizers hope to raise some last-minute funds for Thien Nhan's trip to the US next week, and to give Thien Nhan and all the kids who attend a magical Moon Party.
