Hans’ story with Quang Tri Hans Victor Selder, a man with a kind look and a loving heart, is called “Uncle Noys” by many generations of children at the “Mai Am Tinh Hong” center. In 1998, Hans had a chance to meet poor children in Quang Tri when he was Head of the External Relations Department of the Dutch Red Cross Society. After many visits to Vietnam and Quang Tri, he sympathized deeply and greatly supported the center since its early days as a home for disadvantaged children throughout the province. In 2004, when the source of support terminated, Hans returned to the Netherlands, but he kept in his mind many concerns about the children he met in Quang Tri.
