Friday, 27 February 2015 Stacy's heading back to work in Vietnam-- March 2015! Can you help?

Dear Friends and Family:

We’d like to let you know that we are returning to Vietnam in March 2015 to continue our partnership with the US-based International Extremity Project (IEP), the Can Tho General Hospital, and the Children’s Hospital 1 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. As you may know, we’ve been working with these organizations since 2004, and we are thrilled to be working with them all again.

This year, we will be working in Vietnam for a short time due to our work schedules in the US. It will be an intensive week of work! First, we will work in the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho at their General Hospital with the team of IEP nurses and surgeons to assess patients for foot and ankle surgeries planned for later that week. We will then go north to Ho Chi Minh City to Children’s Hospital 1 to again work with the pediatric physical therapy and speech therapy teams in hands-on open clinic with patients and to provide training lectures to area therapists and physicians.  

You have been very generous in the past in helping to support our participation in the IEP mission. If you are able to contribute to the mission again, we would be very grateful. Any donation that you make is tax-deductible.  This year, your donations will be used to defray the $2000 in travel costs that I will personally incur to make the trip, with any additional money going to support the surgery team. 

My 2015 trip blog will be vietnammissiontrip2015.blogspot.com, so feel free to follow it for our very short, but I am sure eventful work in Vietnam.
