Vietnam is a country with enormous economic potential. But at the same time, we have hundreds of thousands of disabled children. Unfortunately, many of them are from poor family, their parents cannot give them good condition to live, to study or to access medical services like other normal children. Moreover, there are not enough school for the disabled. Our organization, Hands of Hope is trying to help these unlucky lives by providing medical services and supporting their families as well. Most funding comes from The Koop Family, so our efforts are not enough, we need your contribution, your help to give them a sense of self-respect to be able to live an independent live. Let's contact us if you really want to help them. ----Presentation skill lesson ----- :D
