The honourees are Marta Alejano, Chief Representative of the Spanish Red Cross in Vietnam, and Giuseppe Ungaro and Paul Van Deer Lan, her counterparts from Italy and the Netherlands.
Alejano, who is leaving the country to take up another position, said she will apply Vietnam ’s experience in order to help people in other countries where poverty and wars still linger.
In the past years, the foreign organisations have given much aid to Vietnam, for example in hygienic and environmental projects in Kien Giang, Binh Phuoc and Binh Thuan provinces, and a “cow bank” project helping border communities improve their livelihoods.
