Australian Journalist Supports the Poor

An Australian journalist has donated nearly VND 175 million (nearly $11,000) to help the local poor in A Luoi district, central Thua Thien-Hue province, implement a cattle raising project.
The aid was granted by Bruce Montgomery to 50 underprivileged households in Hong Kim and Hong Quang communes, according to the provincial People's Committee. It is not the fist charitable act performed by the journalist, who is a co-founder of the Australia-based Viet Nam Association of Victims of Agent Orange, whose aim is to support Agent Orange victims in Hue city. Between 2003-04, he, in collaboration with the Vietnamese Embassy in Australia and the provincial Red Cross Association, presented 30 wheelchairs for the disabled in A Luoi.
