BACKGROUND
Severely disabled and abandoned at birth, 124 children live at the Ba Vi Orphanage and Elderly home near Hanoi, Vietnam. They are all labeled 3rd generation victims of Agent Orange (a defoliant used by the US military during the Vietnam War).
The center lacks proper funding resulting in under-staffing and primitive living conditions. Most of the children live a life without recreation, education, or physical therapy and spend the majority of their day left sitting in wooden chairs or lying in mass beds. The majority of the children will live their entire lives at the center.
Anyone interested in donating money to the orphanage please visit www.hscv.org. |
