Project Vietnam
A few times I have done charity work with Project Vietnam.  Project Vietnam is a charity organization made up of doctors from United States and Canada that travels to Vietnam several times a year to provide free medical help. The following link is a journal of of the first trip I made with Project Vietnam.

VNhelp
Another charity organization that I work with is VNhelp. It does charity work in Vietnam. See the webiste below for charity projects it does in Vietnam. It is based out of the San Jose, California area. The chairperson for the organization is a college friend of mine that I went to school with in the Bay Area when I first came to the United States.

Saigon - Song Trang Restaurant

Thanh has an excellent restaurant in the Saigon area called Song Trang Restaurant. It is an outside restaurant with a great view overlooking the river. It is a very enjoyable experience to have dinner in the evening.
