Welcome to COPI Summer Mission 2013 Blog.
It is only less than one month before our departure date. We know that you are making plans for your loved ones at home, collecting needed items for our patients, reading everything about Vietnam, getting anxious to see old friends and meeting new ones...
After 17 years of hosting mission teams, I am still getting excited for the day to meet and "re-meet" all of you in Hanoi. By now, you probably understand that we will be busy caring for over 1,500 patients at seven clinics from North to South Vietnam. Our team is made of 1/2 non-Vietnamese and 1/2 Vietnamese team members. Most of us do not speak Vietnamese well and some of our friends speak English well. You will find that language is not going to be a barrier; instead understanding and compassion will allow us learning from one another tradition and culture. Regardless of our different backgrounds, in the end each of us will be richer for gaining new friends.
In order to "break the ice", please send us your introduction and one of your favorite photographs of you to post here. Your blog will help your team mates to recognize you in Taipei, Seattle, LAX or San Francisco. Let us begin our journey as friends and not strangers.
Peace to our journey,
binh as in binh and Gay
