Dear Friends,

 

Relations - good and bad, peaceful and combative - between Vietnam and the USA have been an important part of American history for many years.

 

40 years ago, this week, American involvement  in the war(s) in Vietnam came to an end. Many lives were lost and way too many families from both countries were forever torn asunder.

 

We wanted to let you know about two events that are occurring this week that might have special meaning and interest for many of us.   

 

  1. PBS is airing an Academy Award nominated documentary on "The Last Days in Vietnam", produced and directed by Rory Kennedy. It shows the dramatic, final chaotic days of the war when the North Vietnamese army closed in on Saigon. If you would like to learn more, the program airs on most PBS channels on April 28th from 9 - 11 pm.

  1. 2. Also, this week, we are launching a brand new website, devoted exclusively to the work Aid For Kids is currently doing in Vietnam. Our new website is www.aidforkids.org/vietnam. The site is still in its infancy but we're optimistic that the site will grow and serve as an important resource. Please take a peak at what we're building on-line and see the work we're doing in Vietnam with your awesome support .

  

  1. 3.     By design, the Vietnam site has a very different look and feel from our current www.aidforkids.org website, which you should continue to visit for information and updates on what Aid for Kids is doing in America and other parts of the world.
