Dr Ta made multiple trips to Vietnam, by going up to the mountains of Dak Glong, then to the dense forest and the black sandy beach of Ben Tre, Vietnam, to help 400 plus needy children and adults.
The trips were scouted out first by the first group of volunteers to determine need, then coupons were given for these needy people to come and claim the needed goods such as rice bags, spices, books, and money. The missions were much appreciated and needed by the people in these areas. Together with her Vietnamese volunteer friends, Dr Ta interviewed and helped school children, the mentally and physically challenged, the elderly, and the hard working people of these rural areas.
