[Quach Thu Trang EMW]

Dear friends,

 

In September 2012, East Meets West Foundation (EMW) is working in cooperation with the Hanoi Hash House Harriers <http://www.hanoih3.com/>  and Sporting Republic <http://www.sportingrepublic.com/>  to organize two unique running events in order to promote the social inclusion of people with disabilities in Vietnam. Proceeds from the contest will benefit EMW’s INSPIRE Sports program in Quang Tri Province, which assists people with disabilities through inclusive sports and recreational activities.

 

The events also provide an opportunity for aspiring photographers to shoot images of people with disabilities in sports ahead of the INSPIRE <http://www.eastmeetswest.org/page.aspx?pid=702>  Sports Photo Contest deadline (October 8th). The photo contest, organized by The British Embassy in Vietnam and East Meets West, aims to compile the most stunning photos of disabled athletes in inclusive sports and recreation in Vietnam for a photo exhibition.
