Letter from the Executive Board to Friends and Contributors
DUACT (Dalat University Alumni Charitable Trust)
Dear all,
The executive board of DUACT sincerely thank you all for your continuous contribution and supports in the past twenty years. We would also want to give the past executive boards our heartfelt gratitude for their period of management and achievement.
More than fifty years since we have left our Alma Mater, Dalat University; we, the alumni, now mostly reach retirement age, though some of us are still active in their work place, some others are experiencing financial hardship and even serious illness. To achieve our goal to reach out to all members at DUACT, our focus, though unchanged, will focus on the following areas: Education and Social Welfare Issues. We put our emphasis on the following areas:
1. Investment in brain power: We provide scholarships to the needy, the young people to enhance their education, based on their potential and needs.
2. Support and assistance: We provide assistance to the elderly who have dire financial and medical needs.
Additional outreach: We also extend our financial assistance to outside our immediate groups such as elderlies, disabled patients, and last but not least, poor but industrious students, homeless orphans, skid row kids and minority groups who need medical assistance
Again, we are looking forward to your continuous and valuable supports.
Sincerely,
Chung Thế Hùng
DUACT President
