As a team we can accomplish anything…

We started off the year with a great Kick-Off Meeting! Highest attendance since the start of Vietnam Health Project! We are very excited for the interest and this upcoming year!

We are in the gorgeous fishing village of Ha Long Bay! We spend a two days on a boat with European tourists before we head back to Ho Chi Minh and back home. This place is absolutely gorgeous. The boat roams around rock formations and passes by fellow ships. On the itinerary included visiting a cave and a local fishing village. At the fishing village, we get to go kayaking around the bay and some of us even explored small caves nearby. The boat stopped for an hour and allowed us to go swimming in the bay. At night, the ship let loose its anchor and we spent the night enjoying what would be our last travel in Vietnam. Soon, it was time to go back home.

The next day, we are welcomed in Hanoi to a cool breeze thanks to a rainstorm the day before. This city is the second largest in the country, and looks much like Ho Chi Minh but less populated.

This morning we decide to walk the three miles to site, and once we arrived in the village, we were greeted by a huge crowd of kids! Half of the group split between work with the kids or with the compassion house for the very last time this summer.

We finally finish the hole! Took about two days to complete the one meter deep hole with every single VHP member jumping into the pit at least once. Over at Co Chin’s house, we were finding creative ways to expose the children to the English language with American entertainment – in today’s case, Pokemon: The Movie.

After our trip to Nha Trang, the VHP group worked on the compassion house and had major digging to do. While the workers concentrated on cementing the walls of the house, the VHP group worked on digging a ditch deep enough to be an outhouse for the family.
