    History of COPI

On April 30,1975 binh rybacki ( then Nguyen Thi Thanh Binh) fled Vietnam as Communist troops overran Saigon. She and her family settled in the United States and started new lives.

In 1993 binh returned to Vietnam as a translator for a group of doctors. She located the rest of her family and began to make peace with her home country.

On this trip she also found children working as street peddlers and prostitutes

Unable to leave things as she found them, binh began Children of Peace International to help improve the lives of these kids. Over the next years her commitment and organization grew. Children of Peace, International was incorporated in January, 1996, and gained non-profit status in June of that year.
