So terrible and unprofessional. They're bunch of hypocrite, trust me, THEY ARE. Especially Administrative leaders Lol. So incompetent but always show off as being on top of the world managers. If you want to develop and learn in life, dont ever work for Finance and Administration department of GIZ Vietnam

The German Developmental Cooperation has been silent and actually supported my abusive ex husband to take our two daughters away from me. Tax payers money spent on silencing survivors and separating mothers from their children :(
