Humanitarian work in Vietnam

Host Marvin Simmons speaks with Vietnam Vet Mike Boehm about the humanitarian work he has been doing in Vietnam for twenty years. He'll talk about his work with the My Lai Loan Fund. Madison Quakers, Inc. has established a number of projects in My Lai and more than 20 other villages in Quang Ngai Province. The objectives of these projects go beyond economic aid. They also empower women, provide a more secure livelihood to impoverished families,, encourage community involvement, and increase the self-confidence of the people receiving assistance. Mike says this work in Vietnam saved his life - giving him focus and hope, after seeing the devastation of that war.

 

Mike Boehm will be speaking in Portland on Tuesday, November 27th from 6 - 8:30 pm at Multnomah Friends Meetinghouse, 4312 SE Stark St - Portland, OR
