"The everyday kindness of the back roads more than makes up for the acts of greed in the headlines." --Charles Kuralt
Kindness of the Back Roads
If they had grown up in Vietnam, Chi and Truc Nguyen might have learned to play the 16-string zither, a traditional Vietnamese instrument. Zither instructors, however, are hard to come by in California, so their mother signed them up for piano lessons instead. But Kim and Danh Nguyen wanted to make sure not all of their culture's values and traditions were lost on their daughters, so they took them to visit Vietnam. Now, their 12 and 18 year olds are putting on a concert to benefit the homeless children they met while traveling in Vietnam.
