Where Maya Lives

Maya is currently residing in the Vung Tau 3 orphanage in Ba Ria, Vietnam near Vung Tau. From the first set of photos we received we could tell that the orphanage appeared clean and well-kept. While we can't post those photos, I found a link from another adoptive parent to what I believe is the Vung Tau 3 orphanage (based on the floor tiles). Click here.There are 2 other Vung Tau orphanages that our agency deals with (Vung Tau 1 and Vung Tau 2). Another adoptive parent got some great photos of Vung Tau 2 . The children are cared for by nounous (or nannies). Based on all the photos we have of Maya, we believe she is getting good care. If anyone knows the approximate caregiver:child ratio for Vung Tau 3, I'd be interested in knowing.

The following are two photos of Vung Tau itself. Vung Tau is a beach resort, located about 2 hours east of Ho Chi Minh City.
