We know that there are many more of our supporters who have trusted us and supported us in this trip that I have not had a chance to name you all here. Thank you all very much for your trust and your support.

We are very thankful for all of the financial support from the donors. In addition, many individuals donated supplies for us to bring to Vietnam, which we are also grateful for.

Especially, this year, we have built a strong collaboration with and received a lot of help from our host and our collaborators in Viet Nam such as the Duc Trong and Lam Ha Provincial Red Cross’s physicians and members, and the medical professionals from the Vu Anh International Hospital in Sai Gon that have joined us in the trip, Dr. Phan, Deacon Phuc, and the Calcutta Sisters in Cu Chi Nursing Home.

Finally, we want to thank all team members who have been with us in this trip. Thank you for your time, efforts, and the resources that you have put into this mission.
