Day 7 - May 14, 2012
Report by Son Michael Pham
Today I had the opportunity to spend a day with the "Bếp Yêu Thương" or "Loving Kitchen" television crew. We met very early in the morning at the headquarters of Tuổi Trẻ News and traveled for more than one hour to Binh Duong. We arrived at the Ben San Leprosy Treatment & Care Center, a treatment center for people with leprosy. Most of the 150 patients are elderly. The center was founded in 1959 by a French nun and managed by a Vietnamese nun. After the end of the war in 1975, the center was turned over to the government.
At the end of our visit, gifts and care packages were handed over to the care center staff. Kids Without Borders presented our donation of 100 kilograms of rice to Sister Hoang Thi Cuc, director of the care center.
