AHAC - Americans Helping Asian Children

08/30/2025

Note to anyone following or searching for AHAC (Americans Helping Asian Children), our wonderful organization which operated from 1993 until November, 2024, has ceased operation and our Foundation has formerly elected to dissolve. It was indeed a great run. Hundreds of volunteers from all over the United States, Vietnam, Korea, Cambodia raised funds and worked tirelessly on mission trips 1-3 times every year, bringing better lives to thousands of disenfranchised children in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and even Myanmar. Our work is continuing through several other similar organizations.

Our most wonderful friend, Dr. Khoa Nguyen, without whom Americans Helping Asian Children would not have been able to do anywhere near as much as we have, passed away from cancer at the age of 58 this past Monday. As many of his friends and family as could, gathered for a memory sharing time via Zoom 2 nights ago. For any who missed it, here's the link to the recording of it:

It is with great sadness that I announce to those of you who may not yet have heard , Bill Dolan passed away last Friday after suffering a fall in his home. Bill was my best friend since we met 45 years ago, and he was the person who introduced me to Vietnam back in 1991, where we saw so much need for help. Together with Trieu Bang we founded Americans Helping Asian Children. Without Bill, AHAC would never have existed. It has been the greatest pleasure of my life to see AHAC accomplish all the great things that we have done in Vietnam, and later in Laos and more recently, Cambodia. He will be dearly missed.
