- A note about Hoi An Orphanage
A
visitor wrote, "In 2002 we visited an
orphanage in Hoi An. I believe the orpanage currently
housed children over the age of
four. Joy Degenhardt, whose mother
founded
MAPS, was adopted from this
orphanage in Hoi An. Joy still works in
Vietnam
adoptions and might be able to
get some info for you about this
orphanage.
Try contacting her mother, Dawn
Degenhardt, through the Degenhardt

who is not an adoptee but who was a volunteer at Allambie (Saigon) has
many photos available of the orphanage. If you are an adoptee please
search her on facebook and ask for links to photos or visit the
'Orphans of War, Voices Today' facebook group by Vikki Cowley. She also
posted this note:
A selection of photos are
available to view. These photos were
mostly
taken at Allambie between late 1971 and mid 1973. Please let us know if
you recognise anyone in them or even yourself? Do you have any other
information about the orphanage itself? It would be great to share
experiences. Please also feel free to contact Anne McCrudden, the owner
of the photos (they're in my albums for convenience).

As you know, when we
read Rosemary Taylor 's book and the one of Susan McDonald, To Am
Nursery was the first orphanage created by Rosemary Taylor after 17
months later she arrived in Vietnam (february 1967).
To Am (=
warm nest) had 3 adresses from its creation (august 1698) to the end
(1975).
August 1968 to
october 1969 : located in Phu Nuam Alley / district
October 1969 to
july 1970 : Nhat Linh Site / Gia Dinh
July 1970 to
april 1975 : 64a Doan Thi Thiem Street (most of us came from the last
and many photos were taken here).
So I'm in touch
with a former australian soldier (Owen Cook) from the 110 th Signal
Squadron who served in Saigon from january 1969 to jannuary 1970 and
visited and helped my orphanage - the first nursery). He knowed and
meet Rosa Tintore and Rosemary Taylor too.
Please click on
the web link to see photos of Owen he took from march 1969 to july 1969
before going to Vung Tau for the last of his tour.

Photos from 30
to 49 concerning Terre des Hommes orphanages, Rosa Tintore. I sent to
him some scanned pictures from the book of Rosemary Taylor, don't be
surprised.
It is very
important because it was the first time that somebody took photos of
this earlier period.
I was not in the
orphanage because I left Saigon at the end of january 1969 (he did'nt
have camera when he arrived in Vietnam, he bouhgt one in march 1969)
but sure it 's mine second orphanage afeter Sacred Heart in Danang.
