Your dedication to ensuring our safety and well-being on the school campus at Dong Thap University, Vietnam, means so much to us. We truly appreciate how you value us as your students and the care you show every day.
TO MS. LOAN
Thank you so much for going above and beyond to help us extend our stay in Vietnam. Even though it’s no longer your duty, your kindness and generosity made a world of difference for us. I will always cherish the beautiful experiences you helped us create.
TO MY BUDDIES, TRAM & GIANG
Tram, thank you so much for taking the time to help me, despite your busy schedule. I truly appreciate you accompanying me to the future school and assisting me with printing my files. I will always cherish our experience at the countryside market and to Giang, thank you for helping me experience so many "firsts" in the city of Cao Lanh. I will never forget those moments.
I couldn’t have navigated my time in Vietnam without your help. Thank you Tram and Giang, I look forward to seeing you again.
