“Real Life Journey” is co-launched by the National Fund for Vietnamese Children and AIA Vietnam Life Insurance Co., Ltd in an effort to raise fund and call on more support from society for disadvantaged children.

Speaking at the ceremony, Deputy Minister of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs Doan Mau Diep highly appreciated supports from AIA and sponsors for Vietnamese children and expected that the “Real Life Journey” events will help raise a strong sense of communal responsibility for childcare and protection.
According to the Deputy Minister, some 900,000 Vietnamese children dropped out school mainly because they lived in difficult circumstances while the schools were far from their homes.
