UpdatesThese restored update pages keep the mission diary feeling intact while the broader archive continues to be recovered.

The first day of the trip always feels like a threshold. Students arrive carrying luggage, nerves, and the realization that months of planning are finally becoming real.

Flights to Vietnam are long, but they also create the first stretch of uninterrupted time where the team starts reconnecting, reviewing expectations, and easing into the rhythm of mission travel.

By the time the group lands, the work has already started. The mission is no longer just fundraising, training, and meetings back home. It becomes movement, responsibility, and the beginning of what the team came to do together.
