VIETNAM SERVICE

Working through local schools and communities, LCMS (Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod) International in Vietnam works to strengthen health and education of children. Participants of this course gain cultural understanding and build empathy through activities in the community and by spending time with local people. Students this year will visit a Tay village in which they, among other things, will help construct parts of a building, which allows the people of the village to concentrate on their priorities.

"This year, we visited a Tay village, which is one of the 54 ethnic minorities in Vietnam. We learnt a lot about Tay culture and its differences and similarities to mainstream Vietnamese culture, which challenged us to think critically about the dangers and benefits of globalisation, as well as the preservation of the cultures of marginalised groups. We were also able to help with building the floor of an expansion to the village, which let us save the skilled workers of the village time and energy and contribute something meaningful to the village. "
