In an enduring symbol of UK-Vietnam friendship, the Facing the World (FTW) foundation has worked since 2008 to put smiles on the faces of Vietnamese children with facial deformities. FTW CEO and Trustee Katrin Kandel explains how the foundation chose Vietnam for its programme and how a shift in approach has helped its work to become more sustainable and effective.
Organisations of Vietnamese women have developed strongly among the overseas Vietnamese community, helping connect Vietnamese people and promote their mutual support with practical activities.
