While receiving meaningful gifts from Vietnam’s Level-2 Field Hospital No. 4, many teachers in South Sudan said that the people of the country previously only knew about Vietnam’s resilience and strength during the war in the past. However, since the green beret soldiers of Vietnam came their country, they have learned more about the peaceful and developing country with its responsibility for the community and willingness to share in the difficulties of the South Sudanese people.
