We had our first clinic at the school for handicapped children in Viet Tri in North Vietnam. The school has children with all types of disabilities, mostly deafness and blindness. We saw 100 patients and hopefully learned something on how to improve for our next 2 clinics in Sapa which will be 300 children at each clinic. Things went pretty smoothly. (First 3 pictures.)
We took an overnight train ride to Lao Cai. The 4th picture is one from the window of our train. It was breathtaking beautiful after the sun came up. After getting off the train we took a short ride to wave to China across the river. Then we rode in a bus up the mountain to get to Sapa. It has apparently been raining here for weeks, but the sun came out for us! The last picture shows us having no fun at all. We were drinking tea at a store that sold dried mushrooms and all kinds of medicinal teas. I did not include the pictures of the dried lizard on a stick that apparently helps with kidney problems. I will save that for your private viewing if you desire.
We will be very busy the next 2 days at our clinics to the indigenous children of this area. We are looking forward to serving!
