The Ho Chi Minh City Red Cross Society on August 6 launched the 2016 Action Month for Agent Orange (AO) victims with a charity walk to raise money to help victims of the crippling defoliant.
At the march, upwards of 10,000 people, some in wheelchairs, paraded through the Dam Sen Cultural Park in support of AO victims and needy people with disabilities, multiple news sources have reported.
Red Cross representatives announced they hoped to raise over US$3 million during the month-long drive for items such as wheel chairs, shelters, education grants and scholarships, and vocational training through a wide array of fundraising activities.
