Vietnam
WWO treats children with HIV/AIDS at Tam Binh Orphanage #2 in Ho Chi Minh City, at Ba Vi Orphanage outside Hanoi, and at the orphanage in Vung Tau. In addition to arranging with USAID to procure the antiretroviral treatments, WWO runs training programs (sponsored by Bristol Myers-Squibb) for Vietnamese doctors and nurses. WWO supports an in-orphanage school at Tam Binh and at Ba Vi. WWO has begun the HRT program which stands for 'Hieu Roi Thuong' in Vietnamese and means 'Understanding Through Compassion'. HRT is an Early Intervention Program for the children at Tam Binh #2, Ba Vi and Vung Tau orphanages and matches community volunteers (women in the local community) to individual children in the orphanages. In addition, the HRT program supports weekend activity groups for young children at Tam Binh # 2. WWO is a PEPFAR recipient and works closely with USAID in medical and psychosocial programming for orphaned children with HIV/AIDS.
The government of Vietnam has invited WWO to participate in planning and operation of new developmental and psychosocial programs.
