Int’l disabled to participate in Vietnam music show
VietNamNet Bridge - A music performance named “The span of compassion”, which is scheduled for December 3 in HCM City, will introduce items performed by disabled from Vietnam, Japan, Thailand, Laos and Cambodia and some professional artists.
This is the first time a programme to celebrate the International Day for the Disabled (December 13) in Vietnam will see the participation of disabled from other countries.
The performance, sponsored by the Vietnamese Disabled People’s Assistance Association and the Nippon Fund, aims to raise the awareness of the community of the abilities and the possibilities for integration of the disabled.
This performance will be also held in Vientiane, Laos on November 25 and 26.

Dear JICA Friends,
I would like to congratulate the Vietnamese Disabled Assistance Association for holding a musical show in Vietnam in celebration of the International Day of Disabled. Yes, it's one of the most effective advocacy strategies for us to increase awareness on disability issues and concerns and for proving our potentials and abilities despite our physical limitations.
Let us continue our noble cause of making a great difference in our midst which will gradually pave the way for our integration in the mainstream of society.
To all fellow persons with disabilities in Vietnam, keep up the good work. Your efforts will someday be rewarded.
