Despite the rapid growth of Vietnam's economy over the years, many things remains to be done in order to help people who are unfortunate in life. Did you know that there are still hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese babies born every year with physical and mental defects directly attributed to the dropping of large quantities of chemicals (Agent Orange) during the Vietnam War? They are born with severe physical and mental defects. There are over 34 million children in Vietnam with many Vietnamese children living in poverty and disabilities. They face hunger, lacking proper education, inadequate health care, homelessness or substandard housing! These children face a bleak future and especially for those who live in the remote mountainous area. Not only they face lesser education opportunities, they also have to tend with severe weather and poor living conditions.
