Clinic #4: Vinh Thuan Commune


Yesterday morning after leaving the hotel at 5 a.m. and a 3/12 hour bumpy bus ride, the members of PVNF Summer Camp finally reached their destination for the fourth Clinic at the Vinh Thuan Commune Clinic in Rach Gia. Thang Dong, member of Team S, laughs as she runs through the early morning rain before arriving at the Clinic.

A week's worth of Clinics and humidity that seems to pull the moisture straight out of your body, finally took its toll on members of the PVNF Summer Camp. Despite the wide spread physical and mental exhaustion, over 500 patients were seen in what was the most productive and efficient Clinic yet.

After a full day of service, PVNF members hold on tight to a little wooden water taxi that transported them to and from the remote Clinic at the Vinh Thuan Commune.
