Meet Team 2018

Please meet Team 2018: Tiffany Ngoc Huynh, Janine Asistido, Tina Lee, Thanh Truong, Truong Bui and Andy Tang. This team was selected through a highly competitive process and have been training hard since January 2018. For the past few months, they have been practicing their Vietnamese language skills, physical assessment techniques (BP, pulse, blood glucose monitoring etc...), and fundraising in order to prepare for this mission.

From here we took a 16 hour flight to Hong Kong and then finally another 3 hour flight to Saigon. We were graciously welcomed by our tour company host, Anh Nhat, who assisted with our transition. We will embark on the cultural awareness portion of our trip by traveling to Da Lat city in the central highlands.
