The Vietnam-Nagasaki Exchange Promotion Council has launched a campaign to raise JPY500,000 (roughly VND100 million) for Vietnamese Agent Orange victims.
The event was held during the working visit to Nagasaki by Vu Huy Mung, Vietnamese Consul General in Fukuoka, Japan.
During his stay in Nagasaki, Consul General Mung met with municipal officials and more than 300 representatives of friendship and social organisations in the province to discuss measures to boost cooperation in economics, society, education and culture.
Meanwhile, a famous French surfing athlete Alain Larribe has donated nearly VND4 million to Vietnamese AO victims as a small gift on Christmas Day.
He plans to present all the proceeds in the next Lot competition, which is scheduled to take place in France in July, 2010, to the Vietnamese AO victims.
Agent Orange Legacy is advocating for services, support and rights of the Children of Vietnam Veterans exposed to Agent Orange and their families.
