I arrived in HCMC from Hanoi around 1PM today. Was happy to meet one of the Op Smile volunteers from Hanoi who was on the same flight. Her name is Dao Le Trang. She is a student and will be going to the USA in a few months to attend Long Island University to work on a degree in finance. She has a cousin who is already studying there. Miss Trang and I came to the team hotel togethe . The hotel is very nice! Some team members are already here and some won't be in until around midnight---they'll have a "short night" with getting in late and the 8:00AM bus take-off for Bao Loc. Met Lily (OR nurse) in the elevator. And, saw Ngoc Nguyen (one of our biomedical team members) getting off the elevator as I was going to my room---it was great to see him again since we've been on many missions here in Vietnam. I went next to Vien Rang Ham Mat (the OdontoStomatology Hospital where Dr. Phuong, our medical director works) to see the "speech therapist" there. It was fun to see each other again and to meet re: how to do more for speech therapy in Vietnam. She'll be with us tomorrow for the trip to Bao Loc.
It's rainy season here in Vietnam---raining tonight and rain is forecast for tomorrow. A little rain in the evening is perhaps not so bad if it cools things off.
Rich and Kristie are on their way from Hanoi to HCMC---they've been cruising on Ha Long Bay today. Should be interesting to see what they have liked best on their busy sightseeing agenda here in VN. See you tomorrow. Charlotte (Speech therapist)
