The Association of Victims of Agent Orange/Dioxin in Ho Chi Minh City and all levels continue to strengthen extensive public promotion and education so that both local people and international friends gain more understanding about the consequences of the war and Agent Orange/dioxin in Vietnam.
Also, the Association of Victims of Agent Orange/Dioxin in Ho Chi Minh City continues to be proactive, creative, and finds an appropriate mode of operation to provide not only care, rehabilitation support, but also cultural education, foreign languages, life skills training, vocational guidance, vocational training, and employment support. The goal is to change the image of people who are affected by Agent Orange so they can be seen as real workers, positive, confident, and inspiring people of society.
