HNN.VN - From March 1 to 3, a merged humanitarian medical team from the Sathya Sai International Organisations (SSIO) and Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy (HUMP) deployed their medical camp in the mountainous district of A Luoi, the land of many ethnic minority groups of Vietnam.

In the 3 days in A Ngo commune, A Luoi Township and Son Thuy commune respectively, 40 doctors, dentists and volunteers dedicated their love and care to about 700 local people. The patients were examined, treated, given dental extraction and care, and provided with free medicines and vitamins. For some special cases, further tests and life-changing surgeries were also sponsored.

The medical camp was also a valuable chance for friendship building and cultural exchange amongst the SSIO team members, who are mainly Malaysian and Singaporean, and the local people.

This is the third time Thua Thien Hue receives the medical team from SSIO, via the facilitation and collaboration by Thua Thien Hue Union of Friendship Organisation (HueFO), a focal point for non-govermental aid mobilisation of the province.  

The SSIO is a free, non-denominational voluntary organisation based in 126 countries. In 2016, a branch of the organisation in Singapore donated the building of the clinic of Huong Van commune in Huong Tra township.

From A Luoi to the Independence Palace

Whether by fate or extraordinary circumstance, within just 42 days, one tank company had the honor of participating in the liberation of all three major cities in southern Vietnam: Hue, Da Nang, and Saigon. The tracks of their tanks stretched over a thousand kilometers from A Luoi (Hue) to the Independence Palace, where they smashed through the gates and raised the victorious revolutionary flag atop the building, signaling total victory. That unit was Company XT4 of the heroic 203rd Tank Brigade.

“Once I happened to hear about my old native land…”

In 2000, in the short piece entitled “Hue Diary,” written when he returned for the first Hue Festival, musician Trinh Cong Son wrote, “When you have a place to return, or to visit from time to time, you are very fortunate. There, you have a river, a mountain, and you can find again your old friends whose hair used to be black has now turned grey. You might suddenly meet a Hue girl on the street and ask her, ‘Is there anything new in Hue now?’ And immediately, or perhaps by chance, she will recite the two lines from a poem by Bui Giang: “Da thua xu Hue bay gio/ Van con nui Ngu ben bo song Huong” (“Yes, sir, Hue now/ Still has Ngu Mount by the Huong river…”)
