Hanoi 12 April 2018

Ambassador Cáit Moran presented Certificates of Appreciation to Vietnamese volunteers who provided great support to the medical mission of Operation Walk Ireland to Vietnam on 10 – 18 March 2018. Mr. Ciaran O'Connell, a member of Ireland's community, did an incredible job on a voluntary basis in recruiting and coordinating Vietnamese volunteers who worked as translators and support staff to assist Irish medical personnel in their medical mission in Hanoi.
