          Team XXII traveled to A Luoi in the A Shau Valley in T.T. Hue Province where its ten members helped build a three school house. The A Luoi district, located near the Laos border and inhabited by ethnic tribes, has long been off-limits to foreigners. Team XXII was the first group of Americans since the war, other than MIA teams, to be allowed into the region to live and work with the local people. We have stories and photographs of the team's experience.
