VIETNAM:CMMB put together a shipment of medicines for Holy Rosary International Medical Mission, which works to address basic medical care needs in Vietnam. On this, their second trip to Vietnam, the volunteers were able to prescribe and distribute medicines at thirteen clinics at different locations. This is a notable feat, in a country where medical care is not free, and where the Catholic Church and the Vietnamese government have a difficult relationship. The group, for example, was only granted permission to spend two days at one of the free clinics in the area. They were forced to continue their work underground, moving in and out of orphanages, convents, and healthcare facilities in order to meet the needs of the poor. The people of Holy Rosary did manage to serve 1,244 individuals over the course of their mission trip: 191 children between the ages of 1-12, 75 young adults aged 13-18, 620 adults aged 19-55, and 358 middle-aged and elderly patients aged 56 and over. The group hopes to expand their mission to include the Philippines next year.
