The photo exhibition entitled “Agent Orange - Conscience and Justice” ended successfully at the Museum of Da Nang on Monday afternoon.

During its closing ceremony, 220 million VND was raised from generous domestic and foreign donors to help local AO victims.  In particular, a US war veteran, Mr Chuck Palazzo, appealed to ex-pats who are living and working in the city to give 30 million VND.

Also at the event, 8 groups and 9 individuals received Certificates of Merit from the Central Committee of the Viet Nam Association for Victims of Agent Orange (VAVA) in recognition of their active support for local victims.  In addition, the Da Nang Association for Victims of Agent Orange (DAVA) gave 20 gifts, each worth 500,000 VND, to local victims and disabled people.

Co-organised by DAVA and many other relevant agencies, the 20-day exhibition welcomed more than 3,000 visitors, over 900 of whom were foreigners.
