LOVE BORDER PROGRAM, CHAU THANH DISTRICT, TAY NINH PROVINCE
“…Homeland is a bunch of sweet star fruit
Let me climb and pick every day…”
Those are the verses that any elementary school child remembers, gentle but full of love verses with a beautiful homeland.…
At 5 a.m, The car rolled out of the gate of the University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City, carrying teachers, lecturers, doctors, and volunteers to a new land – Border.
As the name suggests, the commune is the confluence of beautiful Vietnam and friendly Cambodia. It was still early morning, I could not sleep like some members of the delegation because I have my own joy, which is to return to my hometown. But this is the first time I don’t visit my small house, where there are always relatives waiting for me to come back after studying and working in another city, and also the first time I have been away from home like this
Time passed peacefully, the group reached the small road at the beginning of the village where we will perform health checks for the people here. I was so moved when I saw the faces that were sometimes stained, the smiles innocently from ethnic minority children and interrupted voices asking about the health status of old people, sometimes hearing more stories about rural life.
I am secretly grateful to the Journey of Sowing Love for helping me bring love to this sunny and windy border land. And I hope that I will have the opportunity to participate in many more meaningful trips…
