Training and Education for Montagnard Refugees From Communism
A portrait-format photo sheet (code SP-1259) under a green banner shows schoolchildren at desks, a provincial official in uniform handing out books, a sewing class and a school building with a flagpole at a refugee training centre in Bon Ma Yut, Thuan Man district, Phu Bon province. Each Vietnamese caption is followed by a parallel line in a Montagnard language. The framing presents the centre's classrooms and workshops as care for 'refugees from communism'.
