From S.L. Munch, on Mon, 26 Jun 2000 01:19:50 GMT (in response to: We are hoping to build an orphanage in Vietnam)
I personally know of an individual who has started 5 orphanages with the intention of a sixth. She also has founded a burn unit for children in a hospital. The orphanages are in located in both (what was) North and South Vietnam. She also takes groups to Vietnam to help at the orphanages as well as medical people to help the orphans. Personally, my mother-in-law went last year and my wife is going next spring (both nurses). I believe she has also assisted some adoptions by Americans. The organization is Children of Peace International, Inc. and is located in Loveland, Colorado. The Director is Binh Nguyen Rybacki. Rather than give you her email address, I would gladly forward any emails to her.
