FPT signed a memorandum of understanding in Hanoi on August 20 with the National Fund for Vietnamese Children and the French association Vietnam les enfants de la dioxine (VNED) in support of AO/dioxin affected children.

Under the terms of the agreement, FPT will hand out 100 scholarships annually, each worth VND1.2 million, to disabled and AO/dioxin-affected children to help them continue studying or pursuing vocational training to integrate into the community. 

FPT Deputy General Director Bui Quang Ngoc said he hoped that these scholarships would give partial support to AO/dioxin children with inborn deformities in study and vocational training, thereby leading a better life in the future. 

In April, the corporation contributed VND100 million (nearly US$6,000) to VNED to financing heart operations for children affected by the toxic chemical.
