Revival of the Viet Tribe through Viet-Nho Hoc

Keeping viet values among the Vietnamese Diaspora

Wars and disruptions have created a vacuum among generations that are systematically assimilated to the second or third country of resettlement. Traditions with values are a good way to keep these generations close to the Mother Land.
