TWO MEDICAL MISSIONS THE END OF FEBRUARY LOVE contributed to two medical missions and gift-giving trip for 500 poor people in Quang Nam province on February 26 and 27. Before the trips, we thought that we joined to serve and to give; we didn’t expect anything in return. However, after the trips, we recognized that we received much more than what we had given. The first medical mission was held at the People’s Committee of Dai Hong Commune, Dai Loc suburban District on Friday and at the medical station of Tien An commune on Saturday. The programs were stabilized and started around 8 a.m. The people who received our invitations were mostly the poor and the elderly. They took medical advices from the doctors with enthusiasm and were given medicine by our pharmacists and small gifts before leaving. Besides that, while waiting for their turn, they also were offered free haircuts and children were given animal-shaped balloons. When we saw the elderly’s happiness and eagerness for this medical examination, together with the poverty of people and lack of good facility there, we realized that God has given us so many things and He wants us to share with the needy. All of the team was exhausted because of the large number of patients. But these two trips were a joy for both the patients and the team.
