Ford Foundation Supports AO Work

The Ford Foundation has announced it is giving $7.5 million to support AO initiatives:

More than thirty years after the mountains and coasts of south and central Vietnam were sprayed with millions of gallons of Agent Orange and other toxic herbicides by US military forces, a joint American-Vietnamese humanitarian initiative has been launched to support the growing movement to resolve this remaining legacy of the war. The joint initiative comes just days before Vietnamese President Nguyen Minh Triet is scheduled to visit the White House on the first visit of a Vietnamese head of state since the conflict ended.
