For a long time I find a hope and a strength by helping the others, especially special needs children.
4 years ago I decided to sponsor a little vietnamese disabled boy who was abandoned since birth:his name was Nguyen Xuan Minh and he lived in Tu Du hospital (Ho Chi Minh City) with many other disabled kids.
Xuan Minh had Crouzon syndrome and he needed surgeries .I found a wonderful foundation in the USA called "World craniofacial foundation" and asked if they could do something for Xuan Minh.The medical team decided that he will have surgeries in Taiwan.These surgeries were highly risky but he underwent them without major problems.Unhappily, he died one week later because of a brain problem.This little boy had no family.I was the only person who took care of him.



A few months ago I met a franco-vietnamese lady who wanted to help the children of Tu Du and we decided to create an association which was named "Les Amis de Xuan Minh" ("Xuan Minh's friends") in memory of the little boy.
This is the website:Warning:some photos of the children can be disturbing:
