Humanitarian Aid
The article “Vietnamese Say They’ll Send Aid to Homeland Despite Criticism” (Sept. 2), based on the recent trip to Vietnam by our group leader Mr. Bang Cong Nguyen, presented several not-too-encouraging comments from a couple of Vietnamese community leaders, but more importantly stated very little of our group’s concerns and intentions.
Basically, our group (Social Assistance Program for Vietnam) is a nonprofit and non-governmental organization whose primary objectives are to provide face-to-face humanitarian aid to Vietnam. We are mainly concerned with the social, health care and educational problems in Vietnam. We definitely and absolutely do not wish to get involved with politics. We are neither communist nor nationalist; we are simply a group of young Vietnamese who happen to love their homeland.
