The Beginnings...

Two years ago at the Kirkland Art Walk, we (Randy, Mike and My) ran into a lady who was organizing a medical/dental trip to Vietnam.  She explained that the organization she was a part of was very structured and regimented.  We fell in love with the idea of a humanitarian dental mission to Vietnam however, we didn't want to participate in something so structured. Fortunately My Nguyen (who, by the way, coined the phrase, "Enjoyz It") happens to be from Vietnam and she enthusiastically expressed that we could do it ourselves!  Thus, the idea was born.  

Fast forward to summer 2008.  My has tirelessly arranged for the following:

• Visits to several orphanages where we will be providing fluoride varnishes, performing ART (Atraumatic Restorative Treatment), giving oral hygiene instructions, and dispensing toothbrushes and toothpaste.  
• A lecture at the dental school in Ho Chi Minh City.
• A lecture and cultural exchange at a local community college where My's brother teaches English.

Okay, so we have to fit in a little R&R too.  We are also planning to visit Hanoi, Halong Bay, and to spend New Year's Eve in Ho Chi Minh City.  

We invite you to experience Vietnam with us through our eyes, prose, and Randy's Flashdrive High Definition Camcorder.  

Enjoyz It!
