An association in Neuburg town, Gunzburg district, Bavaria state, Germany , has actively supported Vietnamese children, who are victims of Agent Orange/dioxin sprayed during the 1960-1970 war.

In 2009, the association provided free rehabilitation surgeries for 20 disabled children, raising the total number it has supported in this way over eight years to 150.

The association will work closely with the Vietnam Cultural Association in Neuburg to assist AO children victims, helping them better integrate into the community, the association’s president Wolfram Heyne said.

Also, it is working with an Australian aid agency named “Children Hope in Action” to raise funds to build a physiotherapy centre for AO victims./.
