Nearly two decades long, the Vietnam War was one of history’s most devastating battles. Lives were destroyed and families torn apart. In 1975, the last flight out of Vietnam rescued 57 war orphans before the Communists took over the south capital of Saigon. En route to Canada, Nguyen Ngoc Minh Thanh was aboard that flight. He was Orphan #32.
Thanh’s story began like many other Vietnamese orphans on Operation Babylift, but as he later discovered, his path had taken a much different direction from the rest. Thanh has been invited to speak at numerous Business groups, conferences and schools across Canada. He has been internationally recognized for his outstanding achievements in community building and continues to share his story around the World and inspire people to live their lives out of hope and healing.
Orphan 32 will take you on a remarkable journey of life, love, family and self-discovery.
