Help to realize an art piece

Received this in an email:

Hello everyone,

This summer at the Huntington Beach Art Center an exhibition with a Vietnamese, Cuban and dutch artists are creating a an installation in the gallery involving a large pool of water… a type of poetic memorial to those who died in the sea during the Vietnam War.

Here is what Minh Thanh is looking for:

And what I need first now is the Photo of Vietnamese
people who died on the sea. So could you please asking
for collecting them as soon as possible for me and
send me by e-mail. The Photos do not need high
resolution. I want the name and the date when they died
if it’s possible.

If you can and are willing, please email me the photos. If you have a digital camera, you can take images of photos and send them. I know this is a far away request, and our lives seem so busy sometimes for something not immediate, but the intention of this artist is to create something of great significance in all our lives.

Thank you for your time, and I hope this finds you well. Please forward this to any person you know who might be interested in participating.

Warmly,
Lien
