Agent Orange in Viet Nam

Saturday, July 9, 2011
Thanh Xuan Peace Village

Meet Nga who has lived in the Peace Village for the last 11 years. Nga was born with a skin condition and it was diagnosed that her condition is linked to Agent Orange which was exposed to her parents when they served in the war.
Nga completed 12th grade in high school and she is in the process of taking the National University Entrance Exam. She wished that she will be able to attend college, but she knew it would not be easy. Only a small percentage of high school students would annually pass the exam to qualify for entry to university. Then the bigger obstacle is the ability to afford the costs.

What is next for this young woman?
