11 Vietnam – Son and Thun, the Smiling Twins

by Kyuya Kamazawa

Ten year old twins Son and Thun live in a village outside Can Tho city, in the Mekong Delta. They help to care for their jackfruit orchard and work hard at school, but when they have the time they love to go fishing and build things with blocks and motors. The lush green of the Vietnamese countryside is the backdrop for the everyday lives of these two hard-working, big-hearted boys.
