We spent the last day in Hanoi doing last minute shopping or taking the chance to do some sightseeing of the city. We departed Vietnam at about 11 PM at night, and landed in South Korea at about 5:30 AM. Our next 10 hours there consisted of eating, sleeping, reading, facebooking, exploring, painting, and showering. Couldn't really get pictures of eating, reading, facebooking, exploring, painting, or showering, but here are some pictures of the 5G crew sleeping.
Our crew landed in Los Angeles at 10:30 AM today and share good byes with each other, marking the official ending to MEMO 5G. I am sitting in the comfort of my own home, finishing up this last post of our journey.
During 5G, we were able to donating half a million dollars worth of medical supply to University Medical Center hospital in Saigon. Two heart patients were sponsored a life saving heart surgeries so they can go on living a healthy life. Two orphanages, one in Thiên Bình, Đồng Nai, and the other in Đồng Hới, Quảng Bình, were visited and provided with toys and support. In Bình Hòa Nam Elementary in Long An, 50 scholarships were given out to 50 students, allowing them to stay in school for another year to continue their education. Furthermore, one of the scholarship students, whom family had not have a house for 3 generations, received a house built by money sponsored by MEMO. These money were from leftover medicines from 4G. Even though obstacles did arise, preventing our team from reaching out even farther and helping more people in Hue, we showed that we could still pull through and keep going. Thank you everyone on 5G for a job well done. Because of our efforts together, we were able to put smiles on many people's faces. No obstacles will slow us down. This battle may be vicious, but we will come back next year and help even more people.
Thank you to the Nguyen family for being by our team and watching over us every step of the way.
Thank you officers for always being around, staying on top of your games, making sacrifices, and caring for all members with love. You are true leaders.
Thank you Sean and Morgan for being there to record and tell our stories.
Thank you everyone for always being on time, giving 110% at everything, playing your hearts out with the orphans, and giving support to one another. I felt like we have become a very tight family, and we will be for a very long time.
Well, here is the last post. My job is done for now. Thank you to those who have been reading and following our journey. 5G is over, but its memories will continue to stay in my heart and mind. Look out for us again next year for 6G.
Over and Out.
