The 2024 para Olympic Games are underway and Vietnam (as well as USA) have some spectacular athletes vying for gold! 🏅

Many young Friendship Village athletes enjoy competing in athletic meets around Hanoi with support of Làng Hữu Nghị Việt Nam!

The Vietnamese delegation to the 2024 Paris Paralympic Games consists of 14 members, including four officials, three coaches, and seven athletes competing in three sports: powerlifting, swimming, and athletics.

Làng Hữu Nghị Việt Nam (AKA- Vietnam Friendship Village) always makes a big event of International Women's Day, and celebrates the many fantastic women staff of the village! These women teach, mentor, care-take, and lead, and the village wouldn't be able to do its work without them! 🎉🎉

In 1926 congress passed the resolution to set aside the 11th of November honoring the Armistice of World War I with these words…

“Whereas it is fitting that the recurring anniversary of this date should be commemorated with thanksgiving and prayer and exercises designed to perpetuate peace through good will and mutual understanding between nations…”

The Vietnam Friendship Village is a peace project, and with your help can continue to inspire peace and reconciliation between former adversaries.

Please consider making a contribution!

"In each of our lives, there are dreams that come true and there are dreams that never come true without the help of family, relatives, friends and society.
The Frieendship Village is a bridge that connects people with sympathetic hearts, spreads wings to dreams and weaves fairy tales in the middle of everyday life."
