In April of 2009 I published a blog entry about TaVan, Vietnam. The blog entry is located here<\/a>. You can find TaVan on this map

\"SaPa

SaPa map<\/p><\/div>
\nYou can see the railroad tracks that come from Hanoi to Lao Cai, then you can follow the road southwest to SaPa. South of SaPa is the village of TaVan.
\n In the blog post, I wrote about a young girl who I had met in the village who surprisingly greeted me in Hebrew! Living as far away as she does, in a small village in the mountains of north Vietnam, I imagined that she would always be nameless to me.<\/p>\n

Well, last night I received an email from someone in SaPa who gave me her name and email! Looking at the village, one might be surprised that anyone there has email. But actually, it shouldn’t have surprised me because the children of TaVan were very impressive and it was clear that the adults charged with educating them were doing an excellent job. <\/p>\n

So hello to Tu and to her classmates and friends and warm wishes to all of them! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
