Domestic and foreign organizations and individuals have donated VND 2.9 billion and exhibits during a program for Agent Orange victims held in May 26.

The activity is part of the action month for children and the day for AO victims (August 1).

The money will be used to help over 5,000 AO victims in local communities, and provide vocational training for 200 AO-affected children who are cared for at city sponsorship centres.

In the first five months of 2012, the Danang Association of Victims of Agent Orange mobilized money and exhibits worth VND 1.8 billion to provide regular assistance to 250 people, hand over 6,000 presents and grant disability assistance devices to thousands of AO victims./.
