Clinic #4 - Phu Loc, Thua Thien, Hue
7:00 left for the clinic - Hue Viet Nam. 10 hour clinic again. First time for COPI to serve here - poorest of the poor- farmers. Before we opened the clinic, COPI donated 10 bicycles to 10 poorest fifth graders (8 girls, 2 boys).  The children live too far from school and they would have quit school if we didn't provide them their bicycles.  Magel Walo's church paid for two of the 10 bikes.

I will add to the e-mail that Raina sent.  Fantastic and surprising help form the "party" member.  He was there to observe us.  He was always there when we needed water - always looking ahead.  We called him "water boy". He said that that was his new nickname.  Of course I showed him my grandchildren (all four).  He wondered when Thane and Nina would visit Viet Nam.  I told him that they had those plans in the furture.

Two hour drive to Hoi An.  We are staying at a beatiful resort.  Tomorrow another clinic.

Clinic #5 - March 24

Clinic in Dai Loc where COPI has never been. We saw only the children - about 180.  Very sweet, clean children. A pleasant day - only about 8 hours.   The street was so narrow that the bus had to pull over and we walked the rest of the way. 

For your information - HOT & HUMID..  It really drains ones energy.

Tomorrow clinic #6 in Cam Thanh Village.

Love and blessings,
