Children from the Binh Loi orphanage hold toys distributed by members of New Zealand's V Force HQ, circa 1969. Behind them is Father Olivier, a French priest who ran the orphanage, which also provided accommodation for unmarried mothers and refugees.

The first child on the right
The first child on the right is my sister, Tran-Thi-Lan. She was adopted by my parents in 1969 at the age of four in Belgium, where she is still living. She is now 49 and is married to a Belgian. She has two children.
