Global Journalism Trip to Vietnam

Professor Ernabel Demillo led a global journalism trip to Vietnam during the winter break, along with her co-faculty leader Georgia Kral. During the trip students met and interviewed David Clark and Rich Allen, two American Vietnam veterans who live in Vietnam and volunteer for Veterans for Peace in Da Nang. Clark and his wife Ushi, arranged a tour of the Da Nang Association of Agent Orange/Dioxin (DAVA), one of many centers in Vietnam providing care, education and rehabilitation for victims of Agent Orange.

The Vietnam Association for Victims of Agent Orange (VAVA) students gave a dance performance and the Saint Peter’s students spent time talking and playing with the kids. This was the highlight of the trip for many of the students. The Saint Peter’s group also presented Colonel To Nam, director of DAVA/VAVA, a donation, which is pictured here.
