Chuc Mung Sinh Nhat Em Alex
When our team elects to interview for this mission and commit to this adventure, they also commit to celebrating VMCO style. This, however, has put all members who have a birthday during or around mission time on high alert. Thanks to our joining Alumni, Hang Nguyen and Dhimo Vrusho, we were able to devise a plan that did not include a suspicious me. Cam on Dhimo for participating and Hang for organizing.
Happy Birthday Alex Dinh,

Learning the history and culture of Saigon
After flying for over 22 hours and 10,000 miles, it is proper for the group to be exposed to the culture of Vietnam, including Saigon. We visited the War Remnants Museum, which chronicles the devastation of war on people and the environment.
Next we toured the Independence Palace, famous for government activities beginning with the French through the Vietnam/American war. Next was a short walk to the Cathedral of Notre Dame and the well-known Saigon post office. It is important for the team to learn the history that build the values of the Vietnamese patients we begin to provide care for over the next few weeks.
