OpSmile Vietnam to open clinics

As I was working on producing this BLOG, one of the sources of information I utilized was the news information on the left of the page. Ironically, there is a story there about operation smile opening 1 of 7 permanent clinics. This one will be opened in Hue, Vietnam, not too very far from where our mission will be. Read about it here: http://www.thanhniennews.com/healthy/?catid=8&newsid=26242.

Visit to Vietnam

Today, decided that I would work on creating a BLOG for our upcoming mission. I found a great deal on a SIM card for a GSM-quad phone to use in Vietnam. I started finding out about where we will visit, and downloaded a detailed map and looked at Google Earth. Despite my initial impressions, it looks as if we are going to be more in the Central Highlands--away from the heat and the beach.
