[Vnbiz] Ha Giang

Quang:

How great, I knew nothing of such programs.  Do they still continue?  Are
they organized through Mass Organizations; Fatherland Front, Women's Union,
YOUTH Union, and such.

It was really great to see the students doing this.  They put it togethor so
quickly, and their proposal, that I received a couple of days ago was so
well written and organized that I had to write.  I am amazed that they were
able to arrange the logistics, venues, meetings and other such issues in
such a short period of time.  I suspect one or another may have family who
live or work in the region.  Still, even with such assistance, very well
done, and very impressive.  Now, if I can only get them to cite and
reference correctly :-)

Have a great day,

Craig
