Vietnamese ambassador holds a special goodbye party

The Vietnamese ambassador held a goodbye party for Son Pham (below) . The boy had a huge growth the size of a football on his face, but with the help of the Children’s Bridge Foundation, which raised $500,000 to pay for his care, the orphan was brought to Canada from Vietnam and eventually had 26 medical procedures in Boston over 2 years.
