VI
Co-founder
Vi has been passionately working with both Vietnamese and international children and teenagers for over 20 years. Despite her extensive experience, she remains enthusiastic about her work every day, just as she was on her first day. She strongly believes that education plays a vital role in shaping a better future for students and their society. Unfortunately, for many children around the world, formal schooling does not always lead to meaningful learning experiences. As a result, children need to learn skills outside of the classroom to enhance their physical, artistic, and emotional well-being, enabling them to live a more fulfilling life.
Vi sees it as her mission and blessing to work with children and provide them with a happy childhood that sets them on a path to becoming valued members of their family and community.
