This year’s VFP delegation has pledged $14,000 to be distributed at the end of
the tour for programs and projects that assist disabled and disadvantaged
families suffering from the legacies of war – cluster munitions, landmines and
other unexploded ordnance, and Agent Orange. We are asking friends in
Hanoi to join us with your own donations, to increase the total amount raised
and enable us to help more families. Suggested minimum at the door:
200.000 VND. </span>

and five students from Virginia Wesleyan University produced </span><a rel="nofollow" title="Making Peace with Vietnam" target="_blank" href="http://www.iridescentfilms.com/MPWV.html"><i><span style="color:windowtext;font-size:12pt;text-decoration:none;">Making Peace with
Viet Nam</span></i><span style="color:windowtext;font-size:12pt;text-decoration:none;"> in 2008</span></a><span style="font-size:12pt;">. The film
documents the lingering wounds of a war that ended nearly four decades ago. The
pace of the story is deliberately slow, so viewers have time to reflect on the
suffering caused by war – and perhaps to think a little more. <br><br></span></div>
<div class="yiv9252028257ecxyiv3770650612MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;">Steven Emmanuel
writes: “The documentary explores some of the ways that people today are actively
working to make peace with that past, to make peace with Vietnam. One of the
ways they do this is to engage in various forms of humanitarian work in
Vietnam. This work is carried out by non-governmental agencies, public and
private foundations, as well as by veterans organizations, religious groups,
and by concerned individuals. All work is undertaken in partnership with some
Vietnamese agency to organize and implement projects. One of the largest
humanitarian programs underway in the country is directed by Dr. Nugyen Viet
Nhan, Head of the Department of Medical Genetics and Director of the Office of
Genetic Counseling and Disabled Children (OGCDC) at Hue Medical College. While
in Vietnam this summer, we collected nearly 30 hours of footage, documenting all
the different projects supported by the OGCDC, including interviews with some
of its major American sponsors.”<br><br></span></div>
<div class="yiv9252028257ecxyiv3770650612MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;">Interviewed in the
film are several Vietnamese and Americans who will be familiar to local
residents. <br><br></span></div>
