Non-governmental Organisations (NGOs) |
♠ Veterans Vietnam Restoration Project -- A small 501(c) (3) non-governmental organization (NGO). Their mission is to send teams of veterans to Viet Nam to reconcile with the Vietnamese and to heal the emotional and spiritual wounds suffered in the war. Team members work alongside the Vietnamese in undertaking humanitarian projects such as the construction of clinics, houses for disabled veterans, vocational training centers, and kindergarten classrooms. ♠ Kids First Vietnam -- Kids First vision is to create educational and vocational opportunities for the disadvantaged young people, some with disabilities, in Quang Tri Province so that they may mature into adults with equal opportunities, full community inclusion, self-reliance, and economic independence. ♠ Laryngectomee Humanitarian Project -- the efforts of this organization were begun in April, 2000 when Larry Hammer, M.C.D., a Speech-Language Pathologist with 20 years experience in laryngectomy rehabilitation, ventured to Viet Nam on a fact finding mission. ♠ The Vietnam Project -- A non-profit humanitarian organization established to improve the quality of life for poor, disadvantaged, and disabled people in Vietnam. ♠ SOS Children's Villages - USA -- SOS Children’s Villages was founded in 1949 in response to the needs of the many children left orphaned and abandoned after World War II. The original concept is still working today, over 55 years later, to provide children who have lost their parents or who are no longer able to live with them a loving home and a stable environment in which they can thrive. ♠ Vietnam Assistance for the Handicapped -- A non-profit, non-political, tax-exempt charitable organization founded in 1991 to assist the war amputees and other disabled in Viet-Nam. Its overall purpose is to assist the disabled in Viet-Nam to overcome their disability and to lead a richer and fuller life. ♠ The Atlantic Philanthropies -- To bring about lasting changes in the lives of disadvantaged and vulnerable people.

Veterans Organisations |
♠ Northland Vietnam Veterans' Association -- has been helping veterans and their families throughout Northeastern Minnesota and Northwestern Wisconsin for more than 20 years. ♠ LZRussell Association -- Coming together 30 years after the war has been a healing experience for many of us. Many are now getting help for PTSD and many more have been able to find closure. We have created an active Humanitarian effort in Vietnam and at home. We have also created a comprehensive history of what it was like to live in a Vietnam battleground and its implications on the lives of those who lived it that is referenced by scholastic, historical and medical organizations around the world. ♠ B-2/501st Inf (101st ABN Div) -- For every soldier that was wounded and had to leave the field; his buddies, the pure terror of war, those are the images that will always go through their heads, no matter how long the passage of time! When you are with them, the time seems to fly by. | |||
