COMMUNITY SERVICE:

            I have joined the YCS organization (Youth Catholic Students) and do many activities. Every year, we visit the Di Linh leper house in the Lam Dong province (Vietnam) operated by nuns. The patients are indigenous people who are cast out from their village because of the disease. Though they may now be cured, their community is still denying them. I have to say that I am touched every time meeting them. I will come back and help their community after I finish my studies. I want their children to have a chance for good educations.
