George Mizo and the Friendship Village

George Mizo founded the Friendship Village near Hanoi in 1992. His life is worth remembering. This blog is a tribute to a Vietnam Veteran who grappled with his own guilt about his role in the war. He achieved some degree of reconciliation with former enemies by joining with them to alleviate the suffering of innocents exposed to Agent Orange. Together they have sought to bring awareness to the ongoing problems of Vietnamese exposed to dioxins and the country’s continued problems with birth defects attributed to the widespread spraying during the war.
