<strong>Vietnam</strong> for the designated program. <strong>The</strong> Grant End Date is the last day that you can be in <strong>Vietnam</strong> for obligations related<br />

and may continue after the Grant End Date.<br />
You are required to have written permission from VEF in advance for any changes in the Grant Period.<br />
Upon arrival in <strong>Vietnam</strong> for the first time during the Grant Period or on another date established by VEF, you are required to<br />

6. To require you to follow certain procedures as outlined herein; and<br />
7. To provide you with the services of our VEF staff in case of an emergency.<br />
While this arrangement provides a considerable level of independence to you, it also requires conformity to standards,<br />
