A New Path to Cross the River

Thanks to Dr. and Mrs. Chang's generous donation of $10,500, our third bridge in Vietnam was completed in February. The new bridge replaces a dangerous 17-year-old one that caused many accidents of people falling into the water.

Behind the scenes of houses under construction for the Nguyen Van Phong and Le Thi Duong families, sponsored by Ray and Stella Chan, Lyon and Anne Lin, En-Yong Foundation, Liem Nguyen and Mai Le, and Chao Foundation.

Our field partner in Vietnam has developed a new model for building even better houses. They will be made of brick, which is sturdy enough to last at least 40 years and will keep the family cooler during the summer. This new model costs $2200.

What do you do if you're sick in Burma? Due to government misrule and ethnic conflict, qualified health professionals have left the country. We're supporting the Backpacking Medic Team to equip locals with skills necessary to manage their healthcare problems.
