Hồng VânFive Vietnamese men ended a very long walk yesterday. Central to the walking project was 40-year-old herbal medicine practitioner Long, because its main activity was delivering free herbal medicines and providing health checks for more than a thousand disadvantaged people. We would spend a whole day, serving up to a hundred of people in each locality,” said Long, who initiated the idea. The herbal medicines Long handed out during the walkathon were mostly those that help with treating chronic diseases like osteoarthritis and sinusitis, but there were also people who received herbs to lightening birthmarks. “I think this journey will be a good foundation for us to do more good for the community in the future.” -- VNS
