Southeast Asia Healthcare Partners is a non-profit, volunteer organization founded to serve and improve the lives of seniors and orphans in Southeast Asia.

We do this largely through training, education, and gifts provided by our friends and partners, which are mainly used to enhance the lives of those we serve. While our initial trips were to Hanoi working primarily with SS3 community, other doors have opened in southern Vietnam (2 trips) and Laos (3 trips). Our desire is to serve where we are led. While many of our volunteers are healthcare and medical professionals, some are not. Although from diverse backgrounds, we are unified in our commitment to serve and make lives better…that may include training with care givers, holding a baby, throwing a Frisbee. Big or little, everything we bring and do comes with a smile and love for those we serve.

Today was all about seeing one of Southeast Asia Healthcare Partners first friends honored at her retirement ceremony. Bac si (Doctor) Hai Tran is retiring after 26 years as Medical Director, then Executive Director of SS3. SS3 has a capacity for 300 and is an orphan and elderly combined community. It has grown in size and quality under Dr. Hai’s leadership. Our first trip in 2008 was Melody Malone, Joleann Beene and Steve Johnson. Susan LupPlace became a regular on later trips. SS3 has been utterly transformed under Dr. Hai’s leadership.

During Covid she worked 30 day shifts without going home. She would then go home for 2 days, then come back for 30 more. She had the staff working 15 day shifts then going home for 15. Not one elderly patient acquired Covid the year they did that.

That’s amazing leadership! When I called her a hero, she said she was simply doing her job and that others did so much more. I never met any of those “others”

Set a great example. Did more than she asked others too. Then humble about it.

We are lucky to know Dr. Hai and call her friend.

2014, a very significant trip for us, as we began relationships there that continue and have grown since. Stephen Johnson, Joleann and I made our first trip to Vietnam in 2008. Susan, Hung Canh Tran joined the team soon afterwards. All have invested untold time and money serving others there. Daiyu and Hung Luong joined us on this trip as we traveled to both Hanoi and HCMC/Saigon. We ❤️ Vietnam…because of the Vietnamese people.

PureVN is a great organization we have known from their start. They make a difference in the lives of at risk youth who have aged out of orphanages in Vietnam. We have known Huong Dinh since 2008. PureVN.org

These photos from 2017 popped up today. What a pleasure it was to partner with our friends at Searefico to make a difference in these young lives. I love working with people who want to change the world. Together is better.
