Day 3 Dong Thap, My Hiep Village

We had a great fulfilling day. Our medical team saw over 200 children with over a third of them that needed to be treated by our doctors and dentists with medicines donated. It was quite chaotic but the children learned quickly to be patient. After each check up the family received a bag of rice from us.

The home renovation team were hard at work framing houses and putting on metal siding. They worked in the heat of the sun and rewarded by smiles and hugs from the owners. Note for next year, bring your own hammers and new nails! It's simply amazing the "tools" that are used...very creative!

Then we had a school team go and visit high schools to award bikes and give out 200 bags of rice. Our children on the team were so helpful and truly understood the power of giving and how much it meant to the families. It was fabulous and they even got to sing and teach the children the song "head, shoulder, knees and toes"! We were so proud of them!

Ok, tomorrow is a repeat of today but we're hoping for some cooler weather? Yeah, that won't happen! Oh well! We'll try again to post pictures...sure miss DSL and wireless connections!
