All of the survivors I have met with since being in Vietnam have touched on the need for sustainable and inclusive employment. One of the primary programmatic elements of LSN-V and Survivor Corps’ work is Economic Opportunity for survivors. Over the past few weeks I met with some of the business groups operating in Quang Binh province. The video below explains more about the awesome work these groups are doing and the substantial impact they are having on the lives of survivors and their communities as a whole.

So inspiring to see how directly the work of LSN improves the ability of survivors to help themselves. Do you compare notes with other AP Fellows who have worked with LSN in other countries? How does your local network identify the groups, individuals, or villages that can most benefit from your work?
