Context and issues
Volunteering to teach disabled children in her sophomore year, Thao acknowledged the lack of studying materials and orientations for orphanage children in Da Lat, a mountainous city in Vietnam. She has been inspired by the students, and she has set her mind on returning to the place once she has better means of support.
This drives Thao to implement The Future Seeds project, one of ASII's winning projects this year, which focuses on improving the learning environment and social awareness on education and the future careers among 70 children and teenagers in the Nhóm Trẻ Nhân Đạo Tà Nung, Đà Lạt, Vietnam.
"ASII’s training on risk management, leadership, and support from ASII mentors have allowed Thao to create an ideal educational project for the children community as my expectation in the times of Covid -19."

Learn Thao's stories
Thao acknowledges that despite living in developed tourist cities in Vietnam like Dalat, there is a serious lack of resources and opportunities for students’ orientation programs due to the high cost of implementation. Thus, some students, especially the underprivileged and orphan students, do not know about many other occupation choices and eventually work on their families' farms. While some move to the city, they often find it difficult to figure out their goals and interests in jobs.
For that reason, she wants to implement her orientation program in Dalat city to uplift the dream of better opportunities for the underprivileged and orphan students there. She focuses on the model in which students can work with guest speakers with expertise in several potential occupations and provides books so that students delve into understanding their future education and occupation.
