MaiHur, a little 2 and a half year old girl.

The first day we met her inadvertently, just because we handed her a bag of snack & coke

that can drew her following us to our car and want to be with us.

Today, one month later, we come to take her to stay in our Mercy Home. 

We meet her father who has a mental problem with rarely talks. 

He was an orphan since he was very young so his relative took care of him unavoidably.

He had to work very hard on the field without attending school. His wife escaped long ago. ..let his daughter, Mai, walks and plays around the village while he goes to work for money.

He hands a plastic bag as small as my snack bag and says...

"This is all of MaiHur". 

while both hands stroking the child's head from crown to nape down again and again

Tears of joy and sorrow at the same time of the father

indicate his much love which is not involved with the size of the plastic bag. 

This moment stop my life a minute. It made my day!
