Mission Component Begins

The time has come for the team from Temple Pharmacy and the team from Mercer University to begin their 3 week mission. Mercer landed at 10:30 PM and our team was awaiting them at the airport. Tonight we will travel by bus to Ben Tre, a small city about 2.5 hours from Saigon. Tomorrow has a lot in store.  First off faculty from the mission will have a welcome meeting with the city officials. Following, our whole team will visit an orphanage and vocational school. Finally we will head back and sort the many, many bags of medications, medical supplies and prosthetic supplies. The logistics of a mission this size takes careful planning and great attention to details.

Today is also a special day for my Dad will will celebrate his birthday!!  Chuc Mung Sinh Nhat Bo!!!
