Countless disabled children in Vietnam today are the direct or indirect results of Agent Orange. Some of them were born without limbs; others are deaf-mute; cardiovascular and psychiatric disorders are also common. These are all caused by the sprayed chemical that was absorbed by the water and the land that the children’s families lived on. The most painful burden of all is however not the physical defects that these unfortunate children are having to suffer; it is the discrimination that they have to put up with every day when other children look at them with fear or indifference, when schools refuse to admit them, when society neglects and turns away from them.
