I would like to end my article with a volunteer member’s sharing after returning home: "There is a truth that... I'm at home but my heart seems still heading to somewhere ... the very different place. 7 days there, I've lived, I have experienced, loved, and certainly already and will remember forever ... I love you ... I love Hoa Binh ...."
