Yesterday was amazing in HCM City. We met the Vietnamese students that will be with us on the trip. Did a lot of sight seeing of the city, we visited a historical museum of Vietnam. This museum had a mummy on display that was discovered in HCM City back in 1992 and was dated to be born around 1880.
We got to visit the HCM City YMCA, this YMCA was founded in 1992. As we were there we saw young girls learning how to use commercial sewing machines, not only do they teach these females but they also use it as a revenue builder for the YMCA. We had an amazing dinner at the YMCA that was prepared for us. When we return to HCM City we will be going back to spend more time at the YMCA. To wrap up the evening we went and saw a water puppet show. It was very entertaining and comical at the same time.
Just finished up with breakfast on Sunday morning and we are getting ready to check out of our hotel and head to the Ben Tre Province. I am told its about 60 miles away but could take up to 2 1/2 hours to get there due to traffic. This is where we will be staying for the portion of our trip and we will go to the work site starting tomorrow. I am eager to see this place and begin our project.
Look forward to showing and sharing what i am experiencing here later tonight!!!
