Things To Know Regarding Mission Trips

By Peter Gray


There are countries in the world that are living in poverty and more hardships compared to the rest. These people lack the access to basic needs of humans and their government does not have enough resources to provide it to them. Their health, education and other needs are not adequately met giving them a hard time to survive and lesser opportunities to improve their lives.

This is where volunteers from around the world come in to help these families in dire need of it. One of these chances are the Vietnam mission trips that will bring you to their to live with the indigenous people for a few days. This is a communist country located in Southeast Asia that has just started to recover from the hardships of war they have experienced before.

For most people, agriculture is the major source of income although other industries such as manufacturing as well as information technologies are growing. This is now possible because of this country being open to trading with others after the embargo on trading was lifted. Economic situations have been steadily improving but most citizens have not felt the results of this yet.

There are various kinds of mission trips to this country and it usually consists of healthcare and education assistance. Different organizations are responsible for these missions and the volunteers usually pay for their own fees as well as donations from other people. These fees do not usually include the airfare and visa needed to go there but only the accommodations and transportation needed when in the country already.

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.

Specific conditions are also being addressed such as giving eyeglasses to those that are unable to see clearly anymore. Dental check ups are also done to help improve their teeth and by giving dentures to those who requires them. Wheelchairs and other forms of walking aids are also provided to persons with disabilities.

Education is given about various fields and skills that may be helpful in improvement of their conditions. The volunteers are teaching them English and skills like swimming which helps in their survival as drowning was found to be the number one cause of death for children in the country. This would help them survive being in water either by accident or not.

The missions also consist of fun activities to give leisure to all such as watching movies, picnics and going to the beach. These would help in creating and improving relationships and friendships with other races. It would also help the volunteers relax and enjoy the country they are in.

Being able to join these missions might make you a better person and you can experience new things. Helping other people improve their lives are possible through these. This is also better with friends and family to share the wonderful experience with.
