No father, Ha and her family are planning on leaving their home for a better and safer life.]]> 2020-11-23 14:21:57 UTC https://padlet.com/diegoa50/bykg33ructu3p97w/wish/952425745 diegoa50 https://padlet.com/diegoa50/bykg33ructu3p97w/wish/952453511 Ha and her family get on a boat that uncle Son knew about since he's in the navy. The boat goes through a safe river route to get into the Pacific Ocean. There they learn that Saigon has fallen into the hands of the communists.]]> 2020-11-23 14:28:09 UTC https://padlet.com/diegoa50/bykg33ructu3p97w/wish/952453511 diegoa50 https://padlet.com/diegoa50/bykg33ructu3p97w/wish/952479800 Ha and her family wait on the ship for what seems to be an eternity. As they are going to Thailand, an engine suddenly stops working. There wasn't going to be enough power to get there. Luckily an American Navy ship finds them and they connect their boats with a chain. The American boat starts towing them to safety.]]> 2020-11-23 14:34:03 UTC https://padlet.com/diegoa50/bykg33ructu3p97w/wish/952479800 diegoa50 https://padlet.com/diegoa50/bykg33ructu3p97w/wish/952531436 After being towed to safety, they land on Guam, an island in the North Pacific Ocean. On the island it was boring. They aren't used to the stuff there, since it's mostly American. They are given food and they were allowed to stay and sleep on cots in a tent. Here they those where they could go, and Mother chooses America.]]> 2020-11-23 14:45:33 UTC https://padlet.com/diegoa50/bykg33ructu3p97w/wish/952531436 diegoa50 https://padlet.com/diegoa50/bykg33ructu3p97w/wish/952593040 After choosing America, they were flow n to another camp in Florida. It is worse than Guam. It is much more boring and depressed. They attempt to entertain them, but everyone is too worried about where they'll go. They need a sponsor to go somewhere else in America. After a man comes and is impressed with Brother Quang's studies, they are now going to Alabama.]]> 2020-11-23 14:59:10 UTC https://padlet.com/diegoa50/bykg33ructu3p97w/wish/952593040 diegoa50 https://padlet.com/diegoa50/bykg33ructu3p97w/wish/952640974 They arrived at the house of their sponsor in Alabama, a huge house with bright green grass stretched out to seem like a field. The family has been living in the basement of the house. They find it very spacious. The big cowboy man has been very friendly to them, but the wife hasn't been as friendly. More has yet to come.]]> 2020-11-23 15:09:59 UTC https://padlet.com/diegoa50/bykg33ructu3p97w/wish/952640974
