Former German Vice-Chancellor supports Vietnamese children orphaned by Covid-19

On the afternoon of January 24, Former German Vice-Chancellor Dr. Philipp Rösler landed at Can Tho airport, a stop on his repatriation journey. For the first time, he felt the bustling atmosphere of the days leading up to the Lunar New Year. This was much different from his first visit to Vietnam 16 years ago. Turning 49 years old this year, and even with deep roots in Vietnam he has never had the chance to celebrate Vietnamese New Year in his homeland. This was a very special experience.

From Can Tho, the Former Vice-Chancellor traveled to Soc Trang province to visit the Soc Trang Providence Convent where he was raised by the Sisters for his first nine months before being adopted by a German family.

Until now, he still hasn't known any information about his birth parents. Rösler, however, did not suffer from the absence of parental care. He once said that one of the greatest blessings in his life was growing up with the warm love of his adoptive parents.
