WITH CAPTIONING: • Helping the Deaf in Vi...
We spent the day at our friends Jeff and Nancy's work! They have a center in Vietnam that cares for the deaf. When they moved here, they realized how unavailable sign language and services were to the deaf community and found a way to help by starting this center.

I'm floored! I'm deaf and I've been following your vlogs (don't feel pressured, wish we had access to caption but your lipreading is almost clear!) and never expected this! Awesome and thank you for covering this!
+Ben Stromme Wow!!! Well we were honored to be able to share their story! They are doing an AWESOME job here. I'm so happy you're watching and thank you for the comment!!! (I will be more mindful of lip readers when talking now too!) :)
Hey Ben!
God Bless you Ben
❤❤❤
Thank you for putting up such meaningful videos and topics. Between educating the deaf in Vietnam and eradicating human trafficking in Thailand, it's great to know that you two (and those involved in your year-long travel journey) are raising awareness to such issues and are advocates for making a change in the world to make it better. Keep doing what you're doing, I have no doubt that your videos will inspire others. Cheers
+ohitsROME Thanks for the encouragement as always, Rome :) We are honored to get to share their stories! These people blow me away with their selflessness!
This has nothing to do with this video but you are not allowed to smile on your passport picture. its really stupid if you ask me. But don't ask me though lol.
geoff and nancy are absolute heroes! well done you two for highlighting the work that they do.
I have Cerebral Palsy, I'm in a wheelchair and nonverbal but communication with my iPhone. I saw someone use an uncomfortable wheelchair in this video its breaks my heart :( thank you for making an awesome video, i enjoy it :)
and this is why you guys are my favorite vloggers now, you don't just look at cool sites, but also give voice to problems in those countries.
+USSO PANDA Aww yay :) thanks for watching!
Unfortunately, I'm about four years behind, yet I'm LOVING your vlogs! Thank you for occasionally using your travels to focus on specific issues like caring for those who have been trafficked and now those who are deaf. Your internal Light is shining, and I give thanks! May you continue to be blessed! I'm cheering you on!!! Thank you for allowing me to catch up with you! A fellow traveler who is just passing through.
This video made me cry! What they are doing is absolutely amazing! God bless them and what their doing for the deaf. I’ve been learning sign for the past three years and I love it it’s so beautiful and I’m so grateful that people like this still exist and our shining light on situations like this❤️❤️❤️❤️
I cried! What amazing people to use their skills and time for such a good cause. Those kids are SO SO adorable!!
+PetalofRed I know!!! :)
Others have posted this, but I'll add my agreement. I love the way you mix in so much that is not just the usual tourist vlog stuff. Not just the reports on wonderful work people are doing, but real life insights into the places you visit. Thank you.
What an amazing thing. To see these previously uncommunicative children (and adults in some case) find their "voices" is something truly special.
This reminds me of something I'll never forget from College Anthropology 101. On the first day, in my textbook, the first chapter said that there are two things every person brings with them anywhere in the world they travel: any diseases and their language. It was such a strange statement, but one I've always remembered.
And here Jeff & Nancy are, allowing these people the joy that comes from being able to communicate with another human being. They are wonderful people to do this work. Thank you for showcasing it in your vlog.
Interesting! 16 of the 23 letters in the manual alphabet chart are the same as in the USA. The kids were so cute, and what they're doing is wonderful, as I've done a fair amount of interpreting here in IL, and have been around the deaf for about 50 of my 70 years, and when you suddenly are able to communicate, that's huge.
Great to see people giving back to children with special needs. Thanks for sharing this video.
I love these videos sprinkled in. This is also the real people/locals and the real issues faced in the places that you visit. How great that Jeff and Nancy have been making such a difference in the lives of these kids (and even adults) that have struggled with something as essential as communication (a basic but hugely important aspect of our daily lives that so many take for granted). My brother is actually studying to be a sign language interpreter, so I can't wait to show him this video! Amazing job, guys!
You are the best vloggers! I wasn't going to comment until I caught up to LIVE posts (2018) but I have to after this episode because it was so touching and you guys are so amazing for sharing it. I have never binge watched a vlog before. The post of you and your parents staying in the Pod Sky hotel thing showed up on my feed and that started the whole thing. I had to go to the begining and watch them all in order. My husband even joined in and now we watch you guys together. AWESOME VIDEOS GUYS! Can't wait to catch up to 2018. Thanks again!
Such an amazing couple, doing selfless work that makes a difference and giving options to those that wouldn't normally have any. Btw, new subscriber here.
❤️❤️❤️
I'm deeply touched and God bless you and Kara for sharing this wonderful people with us.
+Paul Chen Thank you for watching! :)
Again, being about 4 yrs behind y’all’s visit, I think it is great you take the time to showcase the fact, in this case, that deaf is deaf, no matter where in the world one is located. People need to see the efforts being made to help them integrate into society and your Vlog is a great way of doing so. I met you in Nashville - you two are the best! Keep up the great work!
I can’t imagine how overwhelming it must be for parents to find support for their deaf children. Thank goodness for people like Jeff and Nancy helping these adorable children and families!
Hey you guys. Have been watching your videos and wanted to say you are both just amazing. Realy like to binchwatch them for hours😂. This video touched me even more because I'm a CODA (child of deaf adults) myself, I do hear but both my parents are deaf. Was brought up with (Belgian) signs and I never thought that my parents and me are ery lucky to be living in Belgium because the deaf here can do so much more and are supported from a very young age to be able to engage with society in general. So it was very said for me to hear that those beautiful children and adults are not able to speak (sigh) with anybody, eve family and parent or siblings. Geoff and Nancy are in my prayers tonight. They are priceless and are making a difference for so many people, it is just a miracle, truly! Thanks for giving them the attention they need.
Also a big thanks for charing your amazing adventure, I truly enjoy them. So much that I started from the beginning 7 years ago😂 but that gives me a lot of opportunities to binchwatch them even more😂.
Sorry for my crappy English. It is not my native language but I do try.
Wish all of both your dreams may come true!
Kind regards!
Very interesting that when you highlight an organization that isn’t about women and girls you don’t hate and negativity… misogyny so strong… but I love that you’ve done this again, and I loved that you did it with the previous organization too, even if some information wasn’t fully accurate
Such an amazing program, and I am glad you are able to show things like this and not just the same touristy/ fun spots so many other channels do! (Though I bet hanging out with the kids WAS fun)It really sets you apart and makes this channel great.
+Kelsey McCourt Aww thank you :)
As someone with a disability, thank you for this. ❤️❤️❤️
What good people - K&N and friends. Just binge watching now, 6 years later.
KATE AND NATE! THANK YOU FOR LOVING OUR VN AND YOUR HELP TO THE DEAF VN KIDS. YOU INSPIRE ME! THANK YOU THANK YOU AND THANK YOU
thanks for sharing this inspiring video and their passion for teaching! sometimes traveling is not about the sights you see and food you enjoy and traveling destinations, but the people you meet along the way, the friends you make and the moments shared!
from the kind old man inviting you to the bun place in Hong Kong, to the nice Cambodian girl making homemade postcard to 2 teachers with passion for sign language.
continue to make great videos along your journey. cherish every moment along the way.
+Borton Maverick thank you so much! glad you watched our video :)
What a great program! What amazing people your friends are to devote their lives to other people in such a profound way. :).
You guys are so awesome. Shining a light on a place where people can help make a difference in the world.
These people are awesome. I love watching people making a positive impact in this world.
You guys are awesome people and big thanks to Jeff and Nancy, they are angles on earth.
What a great project your friends have set up with the deaf school, what a lovely couple good for them. Great vlog as usual 😀
Thank God for people like these two.
So powerful. We take for granted how important having the ability to communicate with others is. I've worked with Deaf/hard-of-hearing students and this just warmed my heart.
I loved watching this video! It was so inspiring a meaningful. This made my day. I love watching your videos, you guys are definitely my favorite travel vlog channel. You guys are awesome. Thanks again.
So I have started watching your videos from the begging because the first video I saw was the Peru series I think, anyway Jeff and Nancy just got hired to teach sign language at my school in Nashville, TN and I just saw this video a couple days ago which is awesome! Y’all are amazing! P.S. Nate’s mom is my Sunday school teacher.
God bless Geoff and Nancy and everyone working there to open the world for deaf people. Love you guys.
Way to go guys! You made me cry on the bus this morning ❤
I know i am super late, but this video was recommended to me, and i must say it honestly made me smile, with how the kids were so happy.
Great work Jeff & Nancy .. thumbs up all the way !! thank you for doing it.
I found myself in tears watching this segment on deaf children. I salute you for doing such an amazing job in raising awareness to this issue. Thank you!
This is really awesome! I've just started watching your channel, and I'm really glad to see that you're covering some of the great work that people are doing to help others. This video in particular hit home because my mother was adopted from the Sacred Heart Orphanage in Danang. It was pretty cool to get to see a bit of the city where my mother spent the first few years of her life. One day I hope to see Danang for myself!
Even though the video was posted two years ago, this has to be my favourite of all. It's very inspiring to see the deaf children and adults being exposed to the sign language and having the support of their families and staff. That girl with cerebal palsy is so cute and full of joy!
I was in Cusco, Perú last year, and a couple of deaf women approached us about donating to the local deaf school. At first, I was wary because of scam involving the gypsies in Europe. More I signed with them (we used the trade language called International Signs), more I realised they were real deal. We also visited the school operated by Catholic Church, and the nun explained that half of children were abandoned by their families because of their deafness and "inability to communicate".
You should contact the Discovering Deaf Worlds organisation ( www.discoveringdeafworlds.org ) and see how can you help them bring the awareness to the countries like Vietnam and help them achieve their goals of providing the access to the education in sign language.
Thanks for making the effort to put together this awesome video! And subtitling it as well!
Your friends are amazing working with children who are deaf and working with family’s so the child has a voice. It’s wonderful, well done 👍🏻
I have never cried so much in one of yalls videos. These are all very special kids and educators!
That's great they also help adults... Beautiful 💚🙏
Such a beautiful and meaningful trip, thank you for your kindness. I'm really grateful for that. Love you guys.
Thanks for the good work you've done for the deaf children. Thanks for the vid !
This is amazing, I worked at a theme park and I learnt what type of coffee you want in sign language all because of a death customer who loved visiting, could of seen his enjoyment
If you are disliking a vlog like this... you are just ignorant. I think its amazing how aside from food and sites... you are educating us. Thank you.
What a super video. It breaks my heart to hear of children and parents that have not been able to communicate to each other. I just can't imagine. My wife is a teacher and taught several years of special needs. It's a special gift to teach these deserving children. God speed to all those who do! As always you guys have shed light on an important subject! God speed to you both as well!
+Michael Jackson I know, it's pretty unbelievable! Your wife sounds like a special lady :) I'm thankful for people like her, Jeff & Nancy, and so many others who are doing such great things! Thank you for watching :)
Thanks Jeff and Nancy very much for supporting the community in Vietnam, I hope that when I came back to Da Nang, I have the chance to come and meet them.
Thank you for sharing this story. Hope everyone stay healthy and safe. From Vietnam with
I am Vietnamese born in America and I am fluent in both languages. Just this year I learned ASL and got really into the different Signed Languages across the world and I really want to learn HCMCSL or/and HSL which ever is the most common in Vietnam knowing that there is a smaller population of Deaf people than America. This video is very helpful.
I enjoyed this vlog, and I read the comments below, and they were all so positive, What a great job they are doing, and thanks to you both for allowing us to see it.
Just found your blog about a week ago. Thank you!! Catching up and loving your travels.
💜💜💜
Hi guys! Ross from Sydney, Australia here. We are currently in the gradual process of re-opening from Co Vid-19. I was stood down from my employment 6 weeks ago, and the reality of me returning to work is anyone's guess. So, having already watched hundreds of your vlogs, I decided to start with you "From the beginning". Obviously, I have only reached this point so far. Two things ...
1. Thank you both for helping me keep my sanity during this period and underscoring my hope to travel Internationally in the not too distant future.
2. Thankfully, our Government has (to date) handled the pandemic as best possible. Bearing that in mind, along with New Zealand, we will most likely be the first countries worldwide to open borders (initially only with each other). So, especially due to the lack of time you guys spent here on your previous trip, I am suggesting a major rethink of your next destinations? You both have seen so little of our wonderful country. Not for my sake, but for yours. Please come again? Soon.
these people are saints. what a wonderful inspiration
What an amazing couple helping so many families
Amazing and so touching. We definitely need more people like you in this world spreading news of programs and organizations that do so much good. Lovely ❤️
love this!!!! i love watching yalls travels, but i really love watching your interest to learn new things and about helping others, i am working my way thru from the beginning and catching up, but yall have amazing hearts!
I love this episode, so much meaning and really showcasing true hero’s in this world.
What an inspiration to learn about Jeff and Nancy's work with the deaf there. Quite the impact they are making! Thanks for sharing!!
+Jeff Rice I know, they are amazing! :)
Beautiful story!!! You guys are amazing!!!❤️❤️❤️
This is the most heartwarming vlog that you have posted, Kara and Nate.
Should set up a go fund for their center. Government in Vietnam doesn’t help their own ppl much. These kids are blessed to have Nancy & Geoff to help them through this difficult ordeal. He’s teaching you “that you are full”.. it doesn’t mean delicious.
Such a sweet couple. Love the work they’re doing 🤍🤍
This is a beautiful blog!! Bless them sweet people!!
Another home run guys. What a precious ministry. As a completely superficial observation, Nancy's cheekbones tho!!!! Gorgeous!
+Cindy Mills I know!!! Thanks for watching :)
It is just heartbraking!! love and light, fantastic lovley work
I found you guys on facebook and wanted to know more about your story and decided to binge watch from the start and was the best things happen to me, this vlog was overwhelming looking those adorable kids. you guys are doing pretty good job. I will catch you up in your current vlog in couple of days. till then love you guys
Oh what beautiful wonderful people they are.
I've been waiting all day for a new video! Glad I refreshed one last time before bed :)
+Firuze Khosh Yay me too! Sorry for the delay :)
I am trying to watch these in order, but I'm not really being successful at that. No matter, I intend to watch each one regardless of the order. But I can't imagine any of them touching me as deeply as this one. As a retired teacher I am so impressed with Jeff and Nancy. What a wonderful task they have taken on. My eyes are full of tears. Bless you for sharing this. Not to mention the degree of professionalism of your work. Awesome job! Of course I am keen on all of your videos. In my heart I have adopted you two as my "Not-really-mine-but-really -in-my-heart-reality-kids". :D Sorry to not be too keen yet with the vlogging thing, but can you tell me how I donate to your travels? Safe journey and hugs. - Catherine
Awww, Catherine I am so glad you liked this day as much as we did :) It's true - Jeff and Nancy are incredible people!
We are honored to be your not-really-your-adopted kids ;) We have a Patreon account you are welcome to give a look! Or any other way you may like to support us is listed on our website - karaandnate.com/keep-us-on-the-road/ Thank you very much

+Rachel Pursley Now I do too! They're the greatest! :)
Wonderful human beings.....very rare.....
I love watching your adventures but those inspirational projects you vlog are my favorite
God bless you, K & N.
Very interesting project! Thanks for covering this. One thing though; in a video with so much dialogue. Could you please lay back on the background-music? It's a bit disturbing really.
I am hearing impaired as are my mom and at least of my daughter's. This is great work
awesome video guys! love seeing the faces of the kiddos at central deaf services!
+Cory Haney We so enjoyed doing it! They were precious! :)
God bless you two, thank you, this is beautiful xxx
You guys are so awesome, as always I just have to leave a comment ❤️❤️
+Dang Phan thank you :)
This is so nice. So important you show this.
Awesome vid guys ♡ such an important topic...how hard it would be to not be able to communicate...they are doing good work ♡♡♡ BIG HUGS from Idaho :)
i’m 6 years late but i love you guys x
Newer change up in the logo! Cool!

This is so moving! I love it so much
Thank you so much for sharing this!
sending them an email now
This is a great story. Can you add accurate captions to this video. There are alot of people here in the United States I'm sure would like to see accurate captions for this video.
+Visualsilva link to the captioned version in the description!
Yey! Video is more than 10 mins. I am now uo to date.. Wondering if you are in a coffee shop now uploading.. :)
+jongapong Hahaha yay! You know us too well ;)
I had jellyfish in Tokyo and it has an almost cartilage type texture. I couldn't get behind it!
love Love LOVE this video!!!
a meaningful video...
💙😢💙 awww this touched my heart.
These guys are awesome
amazing stories that American came out and start helping deaf people in Vietnam.But the Big Picture should begin Making the " One Sign Language " for all internationalcountries.....
Jeff and Nancy have done an amazing job with HFV. As have the teachers working there! I've NEVER seen another group of people do SO MUCH with so little resources. Their website is handsvietnam.flywheelsites.com/ and I assure you any donation would be GREATLY appreciated and used directly for these amazing kids. If you get the chance, go personally see this school and meet the teachers and kids. It will change you forever.
What a beautiful thing x
Such a lovely video :)
