The Orange Fleurs D’Espoir organised a music performance programme in the French city of Choisy le Roi on Jan. 30 raising funds for Vietnamese Agent Orange (AO)/dioxin victims.

Local audiences enjoyed music performed by musician Ho Quang Hai, and singers Claude Vinh San and Marc Behin featuring the land of Vietnam and its sufferings during the war.

Established in March 2008, Orange Fleurs D’Espoir has actively participated in activities designed to support Vietnamese AO/dioxin victims.

The association plans to hold a wide range of activities in the near future to raise funds and collect medical equipment and toys, and send French experts and trainees to Vietnam to provide treatment and care for the child victims.

It will also host concerts, exhibitions and seminars on AO/dioxin and translate documents on the harmful effects of the toxic chemical into English, French and Vietnamese.
