Additionally, we assist students with food and board while they are in training. It’s a vocational training, job placement and life skills program all wrapped into one. Check out the video about our program from the link below:

The patients were from low-income families in Cà Mau, Đồng Nai, Đồng Tháp, Long An, Tây Ninh, Tiền Giang, Vĩnh Long, An Giang, Bình Phước, Bình Dương, Đồng Nai, and Vũng Tàu. Most of them suffered from cataracts while some had pterygium. Besides free surgery, the patients also received free lunch, transportation and post-op care. This surgical mission wouldn’t have been possible without the generous contribution from Mr. & Mrs. Thomas & Trang Nguyen (Orange County) and Son Nam Charity Group (San Jose). In total, 699 cataract patients were benefited from the VNHelp’s Vision for the Poor Program in 2015.
