Ho Chi Minh City Highlights

We feel extremely honored to have met the Nguyen family who owns and runs the Kien Tuong Wheelchair factory here in HCMC.  We had a lovely meeting with them including a tour of the factory and a fantastic lunch with Mr. and Mrs. Nguyen and two of their adult children.  Mr. Nguyen is a veteran, an inventor, a poet and author and in our mind....a hero who has done so much to benefit the disabled of Vietnam and many other countries who have received his incredible wheelchairs and trikes.

Elder Felix and Sister Jan Blinn from Maine are the hardworking Humanitarian couple here and have made some connections with 3 groups who will potentially be able to attend our wheelchair training sessions in a couple of months to learn how to assess and fit wheelchair users to the appropriate wheelchair.
