Happy New Year 2026! 🕊️✨ Today we celebrate 30 years since Chuck Searcy first moved to Hanoi to heal the wounds of war. From his intelligence role in '66 to co-founding Project RENEW in 2001, his journey is legendary. 🇻🇳🇺🇸youtu.be/g0Kz92bw5qU?si=IQ9d…

💥 Explosion in Quang Tri: At 16:22 on Oct 31, a wartime explosive detonated just 5 meters from a family’s house in Le Xuyen Village, Nam Cua Viet Commune. No injuries, but a stark reminder of hidden dangers beneath the soil. 📞 Report ordnance → QTMAC Hotline: 0901 941 941

In 1984, Le Quang Thanh lost his sight to a UXO explosion. Today, with support from @ProjectRENEW and the Irish Embassy 🇮🇪, he and his wife Gai make incense to support their family — under their own brand: Thanh Gai. Resilience, love, and dignity. 📷 flic.kr/p/2rjJnbP

RENEW is working to teach children about the dangers of unexploded bombs. Today, we’ll hear from Ho Van Lai, who bravely shares his story as part of our #UXO Risk Education program, funded by the Government of Ireland. His story reminds us why this risk education is so important.

A heartwarming story of kindness! ❤️ Mr. Tran Soi's family from Cam Phu 3 village received a much-needed washing machine, thanks to the generosity of US veteran Bob Judson and his wife (now living in Atlanta, GA). Let's spread the love! 🙏 #RENEW #Compassion #HelpingHands
