P.E.T. Project
 
In 2013 when The D.O.V.E. Fund group was visiting Vietnam, they distributed 144 carts to disabled people in a very rural area. These people had lost the limbs and never had the use of them from the war, from landmines, and from Agent Orange.”

Catherine Karnow, Photographer traveling with the DOVE Fund, January 2013.

"Yesterday this woman went from someone who could only move along the ground like a crab to feeling like a queen as she was given mobility for the first time in her life. After this photo was taken she sailed away down the road waving at us and blowing us kisses.

Project Update - 2014
In 2014 The D.O.V.E. Fund returned to Vietnam, and provided an additional 175 carts, in partnership with P.E.T. International, The International Red Cross and Hearts for Hue. All of these organizations made the additional carts possible.

The D.O.V.E. Fund is currently working with P.E.T. International for another shipment of carts to Vietnam later this year.
