(``Co'' means ``miss'' in Vietnamese.) The organization aims to foster entrepreneurship by providing training, information, and funding with a goal of reducing poverty and generating self-reliance among recipients. Plans are to operate in the country's Mekong Delta along the Cambodia border, where many poor women have been lured into prostitution rings in Cambodia. CoVN was started by a group of (mostly women) Vietnamese-American professionals. The inaugural fundraiser is set for Aug. 7 at Stanford University and will include appearances by Nguyen Qui Duc, producer and host of KQED Public Radio's ``Pacific Time;'' Thuy Vu, co-anchor for ABC-7 News; an interview with writer Le Hang and performances by Performing Artist Lan Tran; and vocalist, multi-instrumentalist Unity Nguyen and the Danny Nguyen Dancers and Musicians. Tickets are $35. For information, see www.covn.org or phone Hanna Bui-Eve at (650) 641-1503.
