"This trip taught me a lot of things. That there are many people and things I have that I take for granted, the children in Vietnam have so little yet they enjoy what little they have to the fullest. I also find that the bonds that we have made with the children there are precious, I hope we can all go back again next year to see them!"

"For me this trip, in which we all enjoyed ourselves despite the sufferings we each had because of the people we were with and our attitudes, reminds me that life can be like that too. Suffering will be there, but who we are with and how we face it can keep us joyful in this life."

"It was a good trip to be grateful for the little things and not to be easily disturbed by the trivial things. The warmth of the villagers that gave us such a great sense of belonging is one to learn from, as well as their strong-willed attitudes."

"For the last 8 days it have been an eye opening to me as I was able to see things I would not see in my everyday life. Each day I prayed for strength, joy and love to myself so that I be able to make a difference the children and villagers at the place I went. Also I never feel so much joy before my life as I am able to give people others joy."

“The biggest takeaway for me was “etiquette is not about what you know, but about using what you know to help others feel comfortable with sharing a meal.”
