Vietnam Local Custom Tips by filipdebont

I believe that foundations as Handicap International do a great job in countries like Vietnam and Cambodia.

With their programs they help handicapped people to come back in the society, because in these countries being handicapped isn't easy, these people get isolated so easily, Handicap International helps them to re-integrate.
They also 'fight' against the fabrication and use of antipersonal landmines. Antipersonnel landmines kill or maim another civilian victim every 20 minutes.
Handicap International strives to intervene as rapidly as possible in favor of the handicapped and the most vulnerable populations wherever and whenever armed conflict has destroyed existing systems of assistance and solidarity. Similar assistance is also made available in countries where there are severe economic problems, or where the association’s expertise in prevention and socio-economic development is requested. Technicians offering expertise in the creation and fitting of prostheses, in physical therapy, in psychomotor therapy, in psychology, and in the techniques specific to actions against landmines, as well as the health care professionals, agronomists, architects, engineers and educators of Action Nord Sud, multi-disciplinary department of HANDICAP INTERNATIONAL, are today conducting over 160 projects in rehabilitation, prevention, rural development, and emergency programs in the severall countries (list of countries on their site).
