Operation Smiling Phoenix
Our 2018 Vietnam Charity mission trip took place from August 11th- 17th, in Saigon. We began a partnership with Turkey Dash Vietnam whose mission is to raise money by hosting walks/runs to help children with cleft lip. We were extremely fortunate to have them and Operation Smile Vietnam to help us with our philanthropic project of donating $10,000 to helping Vietnamese children with cleft lip deformation. Our two members, Duy and Anh, assisted in logistical operations, and meeting and interacting with patients and their family. Towards the end of the trip, Anh and Duy traveled to Da Lat to provide scholarships to orphans to assist them financially with their education. This opportunity provided a Segway for future opportunities for us to medically help children with this malformation. Would like to extend a sincere appreciation to Ken Tran and Michelle Ngo and their volunteers for their hospitality and friendship. The entire process was transparent and smooth for our guys and organization!
