Wheelchairs given to the disabled in Dien Bien
The Lawerence S. Ting Memorial Fund on August 25 presented 200 wheelchairs worth VND360 million (US$17,140) to people with disabilities in the northern province of Dien Bien.
The donation is part of a programme co-sponsored by the fund and Phu My Hung Corp. to support the disabled nationwide by equipping them with a means of transport, thus facilitating their daily activities and social integration.
Earlier this year, the two donors gave 33 computers and computer-connected microscopes to a boarding school for ethnic minority students in Dien Bien.
