Faces of Agent Orange - more than 40 years later

May 16, 2012 
Day 9 of the Kids Without Borders & Rotary HumaniTour Viet Nam


Today we visited the Tu Du Peace Village in Saigon. Joining us are our friends and 'do-good' partners with the Australia-based charity Artists for Orphans (www.artists-for-orphans.com/). Tu Du Peace Village is a care and rehabilitation center for children with disabilities linked to Agent Orange.


We had a brief meeting with the director of the center and learned from her some of the needs for the children. Both of our organizations, Kids Without Borders and Artists for Orphans will consider developing job training for the older youths. We presented to the center a laptop computer, large supply of toothbrushes and school supplies.


After the meeting, time to visit (and play with) the kids.
