(VOVworld) - Nearly 10,000 people joined a walk at Dam Sen Park in Ho Chi Minh City on Saturday to raise funds for Agent Orange (AO) victims and disabled people. This is the sixth such event held by the City’s Red Cross, aiming to mark 51 years of Vietnam AO/Dioxin Disaster. It also helped millions of Vietnamese people and international friends gain a better understanding of the real situation faced by AO victims and the disabled in their efforts to overcome difficulties and integrate into the community. Nguyen Thi Kim Luan from Thai Binh Elevator Company is one of the participants: “This is the first time my company joins the program. We have encouraged all our staff to raise funds for AO victims. Hopefully, our contributions will help ease the pain of AO victims and the disabled.”

The walk raised nearly VND 1 billion to support AO victims and disabled people.
