VNMAP has a special place in my heart ever since I joined the 2009 trip as a medical interpreter. It was an honor to be a part of an organization that reaches out to those in need from my home country. I believe that VNMAP has serious potential to establish a constant presence in Viet Nam that will make a considerable difference in the medical education and care of those who need it most. I am happy to continue my involvement by joining the board this year and I look forward to contributing to the continued success of VNMAP.
