On our November 2008 photo shoot, the SCG team came across a small local school, in session, while hiking through the North Vietnamese countryside. We shared Oreo cookies with the children and enjoyed some hilarious moments. When it was time to leave, the children followed us out of the village singing songs and waving “goodbye” with great enthusiasm!
