Today was another scheduled clinic day. Since they were closed down, we have nothing to do besides touring Da Nang and Hoi An. What stuck out for me throughout the day was an old woman gathering cans at the beach of Hoi An. She wanders throughout the beach, trying to gather up all the cans that she could to make a living. In her hands was a string with about 5 or 6 cans. She asked us for a couple cans that we have with us, so we gave them to her. In America, these cans are recycled to give us quick cash. But here, some people relied on that for a living...
On the front of our scrubs read "MEMO Medical, Educational Missions and Outreach." We wore them for the first time and the last time during our banquet dinner. They reminded me of the people that we were unable to help this year. We will come back for sure next year.
Over and Out.
