Then a snatch of dialogue between a mother and child: "Mother, where's Daddy?" "Don't ask me questions. I'm very worried about him." "But I miss Daddy very much. Why is he gone so long?"

With sleeves rolled up and sweat rolling down, the students are building privies, schools and roads in 18 Vietnamese provinces...
