"Elvira, we're going to bed now," says Tuoi Phung as she picks a woman up out of her wheelchair and places her in a bed. After the woman is tucked in, Phung begins to comb her hair.
Elvira isn't a real senior citizen, but a doll. She's helping to teach apprentices in Germany's eastern Vogtland region nursing techniques and is an old friend to Phung, Oanh Nguyen and Nhung Bui.
