As we approach the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War, hear what it was like to be a kid in a small village while the war raged in the nearby countryside. Tan Pham will talk about the stroke of luck that allowed him and his immediate family to escape shortly before the fall of Saigon.
You’ll be moved by Tan’s experience of joy when he was finally able to return to Vietnam and to see his grandparents for the first time in 20 years; and you’ll gain an understanding of how the country has grown since the war ended and the military presence left.
Tan is the owner of Cuisine Adventure Tours and at least twice a year takes inspired visitors to see his homeland.
