Information Session #2
Our visit to Birmingham Children’s Hospital and WAITS Charity organization gave us perfect demonstrations of how the country’s systems actually run. A tour is a great way of understanding and viewing everything in the natural way it occurs. Our tour of the hospital was very insightful and had great visuals for us moving forward in…

Day 3- PECC2
Our 3rd day in Vietnam followed the same routine as yesterday. However, today during language class I was challenged by the girl I worked with named Nhi in a way I wasn’t yesterday. Learning new languages has never come naturally to me. I especially struggle with the tonal sounds of the Vietnamese language. I have…

A day in Stratford-Upon-Avon!
On our adventure today, we started by taking the train from Birmingham up to Stratford-Upon-Avon. I have always known how popular the train is for people who live in Britain. Many families were using the tracks to go from town to town instead of driving. Many commute to work using this train. As today was…
Day 1- An Unforgettable Welcome Ceremony
After a long 30+ hours of travel, we finally arrived at our hotel in Ho Chi Minh City last night at 2:30am. I couldn’t have been happier to go to sleep in a bed instead of on an airplane seat. My first impression of Vietnam was the humidity. I knew it was going to be…
