The family of 10 and 83 other refugees drifted aimlessly in the South China Sea. With no food or water, they were dehydrated and dying, he says.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;But my family had a different outcome,&rdquo; he says, &ldquo;because a mercy ship from World Vision found us, and we were eventually relocated to the United States.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>It was more than luck that made a way for his family to start a new life in the U.S., he says. &ldquo;It was really the compassionate response of this amazing country.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>That compassion was extended to his family by individuals, Vinh says. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s really the individual acts of courage and generosity that made all the difference.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I believe that Americans are a generous and compassionate people. I believe that we are also action oriented. When we see a human crisis, we want to do something about it.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Individuals make a big difference,&rdquo; he says, even with problems so overwhelming we think they can only have political or legal solutions. &ldquo;Because today in refugee camps, there are organizations like World Vision that are rescuing families just like mine. Just like those we&rsquo;re seeing on TV.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Vinh is a physician in private practice and the author of &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Where-Wind-Leads-Miraculous-Redemption\/dp\/0718037499\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Where the Wind Leads<\/a>,&rdquo; the story of his family&rsquo;s escape from Vietnam and life in the United States.
