The attendees paid tribute at President Ho Chi Minh’s Mausoleum and visited his memorial site and the Ho Chi Minh Museum.

Since 2017, the Vietnam Association in Support of People with Disabilities and Orphans and its member organizations have received strong support from domestic and foreign individuals and organizations. Nearly 158 million USD has been mobilized to help 23 million people.

Mr. Nguyen Trong Dam, Chairman of the Vietnam Association in Support of People with Disabilities and Orphans, said: “Each year we have supported more than 1 million disabled people, orphans, and those who are affected by natural disasters. Thanks to the Association’s support, many people have overcome difficulties, improved their lives, and integrated into the community.”

A program called "One Heart – One World" will take place to raise people’s awareness about the issues of people with disabilities and mobilize further support.
