As the founders and coordinators of the US-based "Vietnamese Agent Orange Relief and Responsibility Campaign" organisation set up in 2005, the couple have spared no effort in calling for worldwide support for the Agent Orange victims in Viet Nam over the past years.

The organisation plans to support VAVA members' trip to the US to attend a lawsuit of AO victims against US chemical producers, which is slated for April, 2007.
