Gay: I am a
retired senior - my husband and I spend eight months in Henderson, NV (by Las
Vegas) and four months in Jackson Hole, WY. We really do have the best of
both worlds.
I am very active - love
tennis, hiking, Frisbee golf and I work out daily with weights and
treadmill. I have three adult daughters and two grandchildren that are 20
and 22 years. This trip to Vietnam will be my 9th mission. Over the
years I have come to love both the people of Vietnam and the beautiful country.
And of course Children of Peace is so very close to my heart. What our
"leader", binh rybacki does for the people of Vietnam is so
amazing. She is so deliberate and so hands-on with how the organization
is operated - that is truly the most efficient "non-profit" that I
have ever been involved with, and believe me - I have been involved with 40
years of volunteering in Jackson Hole and have even been employed by
non-profits, and Children of Peace is the best! And that is why I just
keep going back each year and had decided to join COPI board of directors in
2012.
Binh and I have grown very
close over the years - the photo I have submitted is of binh and I at her son's
wedding in August 2009.
I look forward to meeting
all of you very soon - Look for me at the International Terminal in LAX
Bà gay (means Mrs. Gay in
Vietnamese)
binh – I am
binh rybacki, Founder and ED for Children of Peace International. This
year marks 20th years we are serving Vietnamese children and people in need.
My husband, Jack and I live in Loveland, Colorado. Our oldest son,
Preston and his wife, Shannon are working and living in Saigon, and our
youngest son, Spencer is working and living in Chicago.
Children of Peace
International is an all USA volunteered organization serving over 7,300 children
presently. We have a wonderful "army" of volunteers from both
USA and Vietnam. We are grateful for every hand that joined us to lift
the children and people in our care out of poverty and oppression.
Joining this mission from
Vietnam are our medical and dental doctors and helpers. We also have the blessing of having a few children
who we raise from toddler or children who are our scholarship recipients of
many years. They are all in college and they are ready to join us to
"pay it forward".
We can't wait to
serve side by side with you.
Peace be our journey (cool
running)
