A word from Chantal SELIN, President of ADM Vietnam Aquitaine
"I met Doctor TRAN, President of ADM Vietnam Centre, in 2004 as a treating physician when I lived in the Loiret. After many exchanges for a few years, I was impressed by the extreme dedication of this humanitarian association. I have been involved in this association since the beginning of my retirement that I spend in Gironde.The ADM Vietnam Aquitaine branch was created on September 11, 2010, to actively participate in the humanitarian actions of ADM Vietnam Centre with women, men and means available to us in the Aquitaine region.
Recently installed in the Aquitaine region, I met several people who wanted to get involved with us in this adventure to serve the most disadvantaged.
Like all ADM Vietnam branches, our funding means consist of memberships, grants and donations as well as the benefits of our events."

Our branch currently has 63 active members and benefactors from the medical and non-medical sectors of the Aquitaine region.
