He was the 5 month old child in the post below. The hospital trusted enough to let us operate even when they don’t do surgery this young there. Notice the quilt he is lying on. These quilts were made with special love from our friends in Northern Cal.

A total of 750 students were given gifts, consisting of a pair of rainboots, coat, and backpack, embroidered with “Good Samaritan” on them.

When we visit the hot and humid weathers of Vietnam every summer, it’s hard to imagine that the weather drops fairly low in the winter. However, when the weather changes, these children do not have the proper attire to walk to school, for it is too cold for them.

We hope that with these gifts they will never miss a day of school again, and that they will remember the love that we shared with them, and ultimately the love that God shared with us all.
Here are some photos from our visits to the schools. The children didn’t care how hot it was at the time and were so excited to try on their new gifts. As they walked home, we could easily see their new backpacks and bright smiles traveling up the mountain side. It was a great sight to see.

He joined up with doctors and Mrs. Branch and Dr. Doan at LAX.
After 32 hours of sitting on airplanes and car ride we finally made it to Cao Bang. We were joined by our ESL team who have already been here for the past two months. Fully exhausted but a good night’s rest on a really hard mattress have us new energy today. Today half of our team will be meeting with the government to set up plans for the next year. The other half will be teaching the 26 physicians from outlining villages.
