Japanese NGO Helps AO Victims in Ninh Binh Province

Japanese Love Vietnam, a Japanese non-government organization, donated gifts and scholarships to children of AO victims in Vietnam’s northern province of Ninh Binh on August 20. The organization offered 6 scholarships, worth VND1.5 million-VND1.8 million each and hundreds of notebooks and school supplies to disadvantaged pupils in two primary schools in Yen Khanh and Son Thanh districts. It also granted permanent monthly scholarship of VND350,000 to one pupil who was an AO victim. Over the past years, the organization has sent teams and medical experts to disadvantaged areas in Vietnam to support the local people. Yato, a representative of Japanese Love Vietnam, said that since both Vietnam and Japan suffered tremendous losses during the wartime, the Japanese want to share sympathy with the Vietnamese through practical activities to ease the pain and encourage the children to achieve their future dreams.
The organization also visited other Vietnamese cities and provinces, including Da Nang, Quang Ngai, Vinh Phuc and Phu Tho. (vietnamnet.vn Aug 21)
