Summary of Vietnam Trip 2007
BACK TO VIETNAM Our Executive Director, Bob Miller returned to Vietnam to see the progress made by team leader Mr. Tran Thanh Ngon, Chairman of HSC, and member of our partner organization Vietnam Aid Society for Disabled Children VASDC,
Meetings were held with many officials and supporters including: - Vice President of Vietnam, Nguyen Thi Doan - Former Vice President of Vietnam, Truong My Hoa - Ministry of Science and Technology Vice Minister Dr. Nguyen Van Lang - Ministry of Planning and Investment Foreign Investment Agency Dinh Tam Hien - Vice Chairman of Ninh Binh Province Phan Tan Dung - Vice Manager of Ninh Binh Power Plant Mr. Luat - Vice President-Director GP Bank Ninh Binh Nguyen Thi Hue - InvestPro Lawyers & Consultants President Nguyen Thi Quynh Anh - National Center for Laser Technology Director Professor Tran Ngoc Liem, PhD - Petrolimex Director of Safety Technical Environmental Department Kieu Dinh Kiem And many more… Photos of many of the above are on our photo pages of the website.
There is no doubt at all that Vietnam wants this project.
Within 4 hours of being received by Vice President Nguyen Thi Doan we were on the national television news and the next day in the newspapers. Since then we have started receiving emails and inquiries from people in other countries asking about our project.
All of the preparation has been done and the potential site offered, it is now time to move forward.
The next step is to do the on-site design, engineering, environmental, marketing and feasibility studies. The output of this 3 to 4 month step will be a Bankable Feasibility Study with all the details needed to obtain the licenses and permits required by the investment law of Vietnam. It will also aid us in obtaining the funding needed for the construction.
Funding is needed now to do this step. Our partner organizations VASDC/HSC are looking into various alternatives to obtain the funds. If you can help, or know of people or organizations that can assist, please contact us at: info@orphancommunities.org
We are excited about the progress to date and are looking forward to the ground-breaking in 2008.
Thank you all for your ongoing support for Our Family Orphan Communities, Inc. our partners and our projects. |
