This video was captured right before we celebrated the completion of two new charity homes in Vietnam… a moment filled with anticipation, pride, and deep gratitude.

None of this would have been possible without the incredible generosity of Kirsten Hoang and John Nguyen from Houston, Texas. Because of them, two families now have more than just shelter — they have stability, dignity, and a place to build their future.

And what makes this even more meaningful is how it all came together — through the hands of YMCA Global Engagement volunteers who traveled across the world to serve, connect, and be part of something bigger than themselves.

Kirsten and John — thank you for leading with generosity and heart. Your impact will be felt for generations.

This is what it means to travel with purpose.

Ha Long Bay, Vietnam at sunset never gets old.

Moments like this are a reminder that our YMCA Global Engagement trips aren’t just about service and impact—they’re also about slowing down, breathing it in, and enjoying the beauty around us.

From meaningful work to unforgettable evenings on the water, it’s the balance that makes these experiences so special.

Travel with purpose… and don’t forget to enjoy the view.
