Fund Raising at Canada Rocks Concert in HCM City



A KISS FROM A ROSE
By Libby Zinman Schwartz

This time the kiss was from Rose Charities, a Canadian group of non-governmental organizations with a common goal: to rehabilitate people to function more productively in their lives.

One of the many needs Rose Charities fulfills is eye surgery for sight restoration. On the evening of February 16, at the residence of the Canadian Consul General, Bill Johnston, Rose Charities and the Canadian Consulate fulfilled the dream of many sightless Vietnamese and Dr. Tran Cong Toai, Orthopedic Surgeon and Vice Chairman of the Biomaterial Research Laboratory, Ho Chi Minh City, by raising thousands of dollars for an eye bank.
