Vietnam! Stacy Pichardo of Norwich Blogs from Hue

I LOVE VIETNAM!!
I cant believe its been 9 days since
our departure, it feels like we just left yesterday. We have done alot
in such a short amount of time; On our first day we visited a museum in
Saigon on the Vietnam War. It was interesting to see how the war
affected vietnamese citizens something I never really thought of.
After
being in Saigon for a few hours we caught a plane to Hue, where we have
been ever since. Now in Hue, we have done many activities, with Nhi and
Martha.
We visited the house for the street kids, we helped the kids in
the hope shop, we visited the College of Medicine, we helped the Youth
Union with a survey which we will conduct in a polluted village about
environmental issues, we planted trees in the cementary of a well known
revolutionary of Vietnam and the activity i enjoyed the most was the
time we spent this morning with the kids at the Orphanage.
I know that
after a few years there will be a few things i will forget about this
trip but three that i know for certain i will always remember are the
kids in the orphanage, the crazy bike rides and the horrible stomach
problems i had immediately arriving in Vietnam.
Words could not explain how amazing it is to be part of this trip, all
the relationships we have created and the help we have been to many
places is what i love about this trip. Thanx to Nicole, Nhi (sorry if i
mispelled the name) and Martha for making it all possible.
