A Legacy of Love & Hope for the Children of Vietnam

The Development of Vietnam Endeavors (D.O.V.E.) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization
comprised of Vietnam veterans, Rotarians and concerned citizens that are dedicated to
rebuilding Vietnam and improving the lives of those in the most impoverished areas.
We are proud to say that 100% of our donations go directly to the construction of schools,
scholarships, medical care and disaster relief. Administrative expenses, media and
travel costs are borne by the Trustees and members of the D.O.V.E. Fund.

We are honored to have several Vietnam veterans on our Board.  Many of them return to
Vietnam each year to experience a remarkable personal journey of hope, peace and understanding.

The D.O.V.E. Fund is proud to announce a new partnership to enhance the educational opportunities for hundreds of children in Vietnam. Thanks to the efforts of supporters Tina and Hao Lam of Dallas, Texas, the D.O.V.E. Fund will assist in the purchase and distribution of solar powered reading lights. In most of rural Vietnam, many of the homes have no electricity. Students struggle to find the time during daylight hours to study and complete their lessons. If you would like to help our efforts, please go to the Donation Page and click on the Solar Lights for Reading icon to make your contribution.
