Clear Path International: Assisting Landmine Survivors, their Families and their Communities

Vietnam War's Painful Legacy

I have written a lot here about the young boy, Nghia, who found a bomb in Vietnam and lost his lower legs and one arm while tampering with it in March.

The San Jose Mercury News has written about him here.

I am a Viet Nam veteran living in San Jose and have returned to Viet Nam numerous times. I am involved in charity work in Hue and Quang Tri. I just returned from Hue 3 weeks ago.
I would like to give direct help to Nghia and his family in Hue. Please email me in order that I may discuss the best way to help them.
