Today was the last day for us to build the houses. We were very proud of how hard we had work and how much effort we put into building the houses. After working with the veitnam locals for almost a week, I got attached to them and wanted to work as hard as possible on the last day to make their house look better. After working at the site, the family cooked lunch for us and talk about their impression toward us. I was glad to hear that they appreciate our work and they thanked us very emotionally for our effort. That really touched me. This experience in veitnam is very enriching. We learned so much about veitnam culture, their habits, their food and most of all the we learned the meaning of giving and receiving. We build their house, we earned their respect and hospitality in return. I would never ever forget this experience. It kinda change me. I’m saying it for real. I have never then hard work in my life. I don’t even clean my room or and do dishes. Now, I can say that I help build the house, I did shoveling, digging, work till my back was sore and stiff. I’m really proud of myself and proud of all my friends who work till their limit to make the house a success.
