  • Luong Hoai Thuong does her homework. She was born without her left hand, a birth defect caused by Agent Orange remaining from the U.S. war against Vietnam. Agent Orange was a herbicide that the U.S. military used to defoliate vast stretches of Vietnam and Laos during the 1960s and early 1970s, so the Communist forces would have no place to hide. The defoliant is known to cause a myriad of birth defects in the children of those exposed. As much as 18 million gallons of Agent Orange were sprayed around Vietnam, according to a study by the Government Accountability Office, an investigative arm of the U.S. Congress. The Vietnamese government estimates that as many as 400,000 Vietnamese have died from illnesses related to exposure to dioxin, such as cancer. It also claims that up to 500,000 children have birth defects, such as spina bifida, because their parents were exposed.

  • 2 March 2017, Ma Mafefooane Valley, Lesotho: Anatomy class, as part of a course in Anatomy and physiology for first-year students in the general nursing programme. This lesson is on the neural system. The class consists of 31 students, both men and women, and is in its second semester. The Roma College of Nursing is a Roman Catholic non-profic institution under the Christian Health Association of Lesotho. The college educates nurses and midwives, and is situated adjacent to Saint Joseph’s Hospital in the Ha Mafefooane Valley, some 35 kilometers from Lesotho’s capital, Maseru. The school forms an integral part of Saint Joseph’s Hospital, where the students acquire essential parts of their hands-on training. The school was founded in 1972, and is open to candidates of any gender and various religious backgrounds. Applications are also open to students from other countries. Most students begin their studies at the age of 19-20. Most are from Lesotho, but some are international. The college hosts a total of some 120 students. Four out of five are women. Through sponsorship from ICAP and the Nursing Education Partnership Initiative (NEPI), which draws funds from PEPFAR, the school maintains a library and a skills laboratory specifically designed to improve nursing education in Lesotho. There are six nursing training institutions in Lesotho in total, of which four are denominational as part of the Christian Health Association of Lesotho, and thus owned by the churches. Two institutions are public, run by the government.

She was the first girl from her village to pass the 10th grade exam, and is studying to be a hotel manager, saying she wants to earn lots of money and help build her community, while encouraging other girls to get an education. When the 2015 earthquake hit, her old home was destroyed. With support from United Methodist Women, Nepal Mahila Bishwasi Sangh provided the family with a tent. Then UMCOR provided the metal roofing for what will eventually become their new home.
