Established in 1988 and starting operation in 1990, the facility provides family-based care for orphaned, abandoned, and disadvantaged children. Nurturing nearly 600 children so far, it is now taking care of more than 200 kids.
At the visit, Tran expressed her hope that the officials and staff of the special village will continue to fulfil their duties in caring for abandoned, orphaned, and vulnerable children.
She and her Malaysian counterpart took the occasion to present gifts to the children.

The wife of the Malaysian Prime Minister said she is impressed by the fact that 400 children had grown up well from the village and attained successes in life.
She said that despite going through wars, Vietnam and its people have always risen strongly. She also encouraged the children to continue contributing to and upholding the traditions of their ancestors, as their country is known for its spirit of self-reliance and resilience.
