The Vietnam Association of Victims of Agent Orange/Dioxin (VAVA) plans to deliver nearly one million gift packages to Agent orange/dioxin victims to help them enjoy a warm Tet (Lunar New Year) Festival 2015.
Of those gifts, to be given from February 5-16, 250,000 are from the State President and 700,000 are from provincial and municipal VAVA chapters, according to VAVA President Nguyen Van Rinh.
VAVA itself will also present 1,000 gift packages, worth 500,000 VND each, and seven houses to victims without shelters in the two Northern mountainous provinces of Cao Bang and Bac Kan.
For victims in remote areas, the association will send representatives to deliver the gifts directly.
Rinh said that donations will be sourced from philanthropic agencies, organisations, and individuals.
On January 22, VAVA received 3,500 gift packages consisting of warm clothes for AO victims from Decathlon Vietnam, a British-owned sports retailer. These gifts will be given to victims in over 30 provinces and cities bearing the brunt of this year’s winter.
On the same day, VAVA and Decathlon Vietnam representatives visited and presented 30 gifts to extremely disadvantaged AO victims in Hanoi.-VNA
