Hey all!
Today is the day. We have said goodbye to our family and all the local community people. We have grown to have a strong bond and the goodbyes were tear filled and heart warming. Maybe one day our distant paths may cross and we will meet again. We have met such kind and caring people. The locals fed us every day, they gave us knowledge and wisdom. I will forever be grateful because these people have changed my life. I love all of them. Wish we could stay longer and finish the home. One day I hope to come back to Vietnam. It has definitely been the most rewarding and amazing trip of my life. I will never ever forget it!
Thank you to the DSBNi leaders for choosing me for this adventure of a lifetime. I can't thank you enough. Thank you also to all the friends and family who have supported me through this whole journey. If it wasn't for you, none of this would be possible. I am FOREVER grateful! You have all helped shape my life.
Love you all so much and miss you! And remember, everything is in God's hands.
Love Anysa xo

The goodbye ceremonies have been our hardest challenge yet. Trying to say goodbye to this family brought on waterfalls of tears. The never-ending care and laughter from the Vietnamese people was shown to me throughout the week and has made a lasting impression. The family showed us enormous gratitude, but I feel like they have given me more in return. This trip changed me from the inside out and even though this will be the hardest goodbye, I know that we will always be in each others' thoughts. If I am given another opportunity, I will be back in Vietnam in a heartbeat. Grateful for the love they have shown me, I thank Vietnam for every moment.
Be back soon, Sim.

Hi everyone,
These ten days are all filled with happy memories. My picture of Vietnam has changed and I have changed. These ten days, I learned a lot about life - - how to go about solving my problems and to appreciate what I have. These ten days, I have grown to love and have another Vietnamese family. These ten days will last me a lifetime. My heart lies in Vietnam. I will be back home soon. Through our trip I discovered the meaning of "Hanh Phuc" and will share it with everyone. I wish everyone will experience the same sense of happiness.Thank you for all the support and the opportunity. Thank you for the generosity and love. Cam on!
Love,
Ngo Thi Linh Chi
