ALT Extract from Vu Khanh Thanh's book which reads: This research centre is very important to me. I want An Viet to exist after my generation is gone. In the future, Vietnamese in the community won't need specialist advice that is provided by An Viet Foundation anymore. I want a place where the next generation can meet, as they themselves grow old. I want a focus point, a gathering place, for the Vietnamese community of the future. I hope the research centre will maintain the link, and maintain a connection between the young and the old generations of Vietnamese in the UK.
