In light of the 2007-2008 WI Idea Fellowship, VHP will move its annual trip to Vietam from May 2007 to Winter Break 2007. More details to come...
Trip to Vietnam May 2006
In May of 2006, four VHP members went to Vietnam for three weeks. Half our time was spent in Ha Noi and the other half was spent in Ho Chi Minh City. They met up with their advisor, Judy Ladinsky. We brought over medical supplies that Madison hospitals donated and books and toys donated by students on campus. In addition, we bought educational and interactive toys for various pediatric centers and a special school for children with autism.

Poor children who attend an after-school program are practicing for an upcoming performance. We donated $400 to the program so that
they could have basic school supplies.
