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.
