Information About What Mission Trips Are

By Peter Gray


There are countries which majority of its people are living in poverty and experiencing hardships when compared to the rest of the world. They lack enough access on basic human needs which the government has a hard time providing to them because of lacking resources available. Health and education needs are inadequately met which makes surviving hard and the opportunities for improvement of their lives are lesser.

These problems being experienced by families there could be solved with the help of volunteers from different parts of the world. One of the opportunities available in helping others in these situations is by going on Vietnam mission trips with an added chance of being able to live there. A communist country, Vietnam is located in Southeast Asia and it is starting its recovery from the hardships it experienced during and after the war.

Agriculture is the primary source of income for the majority of the people but information technologies and manufacturing industries are there as well. This is due to the country opening up itself for trading in the global economy after the embargo, as a consequence of the war, was lifted. The improving economic situations that has been happening for years are not been felt yet by most citizens.

There are many forms of mission trips being done into the country and this usually includes assistance in education and healthcare. Different organizations are the ones responsible for making these things possible by inviting volunteers, which pay the fees using their own money, and donations from those who want to help. Visa and airfare must be prepared by the volunteers themselves because the fees include only the accommodations and transportation within the country.

Medical missions are done with professionals in the field of medicine to give the best service possible. They would do check up on various kind of health conditions that may be affecting the people in there. They would also be giving out medicines and treating anyone they can with the best of their abilities and what the available equipment could allow them.

They also address specific conditions such as the inability to see clearly and eyeglasses are given to remedy this. Dental check ups that help them improve their teeth are also done and dentures are given to the people who need it too. Walking aids like wheelchairs are given to disabled persons to help them move around.

Educating them on certain fields and skills that could be used in improving the condition of their lives is given. They are being taught by the volunteers how to speak English and skills such as swimming to help them survive being in the water. This is because drowning is one of the top causes of death for children in Vietnam and having swimming skills improve their chances of living.

Fun activities are included in the missions to provide leisure to the people and the volunteers like watching movies, going to the beach and picnics. Friendships and relationships are created and improved by doing these activities. It is also a time for them to enjoy and relax.

Joining these missions might be for you if you want to become a better person and experience things that are new to you. You can do these things to help those in need and help them improve their lives. Go with family and friends to be able to share this wonderful experience with them.
