Teacher BENNY ONG and BAO THUY NGUYEN 2010


Bao Thuy Nguyen: Like what so many former refugees say,  I am also indebted to so many people in the camp.  If I have a chance to go back, I will definitely see them all again. I miss HTC-PFAC School. I miss Sister Tomasa Rivera, O.P., Kuya Romy, Teacher Boy and Babes, many Filipino friends, and many Vietnamese friends. Somehow, I think that I miss the Philippines more than I miss Vietnam. Why?  I guess Philippines is the place where I started to grow up, mature and understand real life. The Philippines and the Filipino people have taught me love, caring, hard work, compassion and self-confidence.
Bao Thuy and his Beautiful Family
Benny Ong: I got so emotional reading your message here, Bao Thuy.  I'm sure a lot of people have touched your lives at one time in your life but it's so sweet of you to mention especially us. We thank you for that.  You don't need to repay things that we've done for you.  If you could remember us in your prayers, that would be fantastic. What you are now as a human being and your success in life are the greatest things you've done to make us extremely happy and proud. Keep up the good work and remember to celebrate life always. We love you and your family.

Bao Thuy Nguyen:  Thank you, Teacher Boy.  Time has gone by, but not a moment that I don't remember the time I spent at HTC School and with the teachers, Teacher Boy. I guess I have grown up and lived with HTC School Family during my childhood and teenage life. HTC and the camp will forever be in my heart. Never forget it for a moment of time. I will be back sometime in the future and would like to see you all. You take care now.

Teacher Benny Ong and his Beautiful Family
Benny Ong: We will be waiting for that time, Bao Thuy... the time when we will be together again to savor the great moments we all shared before.  I hope it will be soon, so Sister Tomasa and Sister Bernadette will still be with us.  My best regards to your family. You make us so proud.  Please keep in touch, Bao Thuy.
