Chairwoman & Head of Specialty
DEWEY MUN
The Dewey Schools Hai Phong United Nations Conference Simulation Project
From May to August 2025, I served as Head of Specialty and Chairwoman at DEWEY MUN, a Model United Nations conference under the Dewey School System in Hai Phong. It was a journey that taught me not only how to lead, but also how to listen where every discussion, every resolution, was born from patience, open-mindedness, and mutual respect.
Together with a dedicated team of ten, I developed the agendas and oversaw two Model UN conferences designed to connect young people and foster awareness about diplomacy, peacebuilding, and cultural understanding. I chaired the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) over three days, welcoming more than 35 delegates and 5 observers to deliberate on the issue of “Addressing Food Security in Conflict Areas.”
Those three days were filled with intense debate, moments of silence for reflection, and quiet pride as each draft resolution was passed. Guiding over 80 students in critical thinking, dialogue, and negotiation, I reviewed and approved more than 25 resolutions, each one a small yet meaningful step toward collective responsibility and global empathy. DEWEY MUN reminded me that diplomacy is not about politics alone, but about humanity, about the courage to listen, to understand, and to find harmony amid difference. When young people speak with both conviction and compassion, the world begins to hear the language of unity.

KHUNG THUONG
A Tay ethnic children education project in Northern Vietnam
As the Head of Logistics for the Khung Thuong” project, an educational initiative for Tay ethnic children in Bac Ha, Lao Cai, I found myself in a journey that taught me how to organize, to share, and to truly understand the meaning of giving from the heart.
In Khung Thuong, our team sought to blend Tay cultural heritage with community impact, by embroidering traditional patterns onto socks and selling them to raise funds for a local highland school. In my role as Deputy Head of Logistics, I was responsible for bringing those stories to life, preparing the products, carrying them to schools, and introducing the cultural meaning behind each pair. It was a simple yet profound experience: walking under the sun with a bag full of handmade socks, learning to persuade, to listen, and to connect. With every step, I realized that what I held was more than fabric and thread which was a way to preserve heritage and to spread warmth in the gentlest, most human way.
I also worked with five local partners in transportation, printing, and supplies, and kept close contact with three community representatives to ensure every activity in the highlands ran smoothly. Together, we organized a three-day field trip to Bac Ha, a journey that combined cultural learning and service, where we explored Tay cuisine, costumes, and language while carrying out educational activities for local children.
I managed the import of 200 pairs of socks and 20 art kits for our ethnic design project, raising 15 million VND to celebrate the beauty of Tay culture. I also oversaw the transport of 400 fabric tote bags for a handmade bag workshop, where 200 Tay students learned to express their creativity through traditional patterns.
Beyond creativity, Khung Thuong was also about care, we awarded 40 scholarships worth 50 million VND to disadvantaged students and visited 15 households to deliver essential goods and encouragement.
Amidst the misty mountains of Bac Ha, I came to understand the quiet power of education, how a pair of socks, a notebook, or even a smile can plant seeds of hope. To me, Khung Thuong is more than a humanitarian project; it is a journey of connection, where kindness, empathy, and love become the shared language of humanity.
Class Coordination Internship
VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE CENTER FOR CHILDREN WITH AUTISM
Center for education, intervention and career guidance for autistic and mentally retarded children in Hanoi
From May to September 2025, I interned at the Career Guidance Center for Autistic Children in Hanoi, where I learned that true education begins with empathy. During that time, I attended 10 intensive training sessions on Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), art therapy, and music therapy with two instructors.
Together with the teachers, I planned and organized five weekly soft skills and career guidance classes for 45 students with autism and intellectual disabilities. Each class was a small journey of joy and patience, where just a smile, a word, or an independent action became a great achievement.
I also coordinated weekly meetings with parents to update progress and adjust individual learning plans for each child. Through this, I realized that education is not just about imparting knowledge, but about instilling trust, giving opportunities, and creating changes from the heart.

SHARED
BOOKCASE
I participated in “Shared Bookcase”, a book donation program organized by Vietnam Television, as a volunteer. My work ranged from calling for donations, sorting and arranging books, to organizing exchange activities with students at a primary school in a disadvantaged area.
I still remember the sparkling eyes and innocent smiles of the children when they received new books, pages still smelling of ink, containing a world of dreams and knowledge. That moment made all the hard work in the preparation process worthwhile.
For me, “Shared Bookcase” is not only a volunteer activity, but also a journey to spread knowledge and hope. Because sometimes, just a small book can open up a vast world in the hearts of children, where dreams begin, and faith in the future is sown.

MID-AUTUMN
​FESTIVAL OF LOVE
I participated in the “Mid-Autumn Festival of Love 2016” charity program at the Tuyen Quang Provincial General Hospital as a volunteer, where I helped prepare gifts, decorate the space, and organize games for the children undergoing treatment. It was a heartfelt evening — where laughter and lantern lights intertwined, carrying the warmth of compassion through the quiet hospital corridors.
The moment I will never forget was seeing the children, their faces still pale from illness, smile brightly when their names were called during the performances, or when they held their little lanterns close as if protecting a flicker of happiness. I realized then that some childhoods must grow up amid IV tubes and the scent of medicine, yet in those eyes still shimmered hope and a quiet will to live.
That experience taught me to cherish my own blessings and deepened my desire to give back to the community. To me, sometimes a single evening of sharing is enough to spark joy in small hearts, and to remind myself that kindness is the softest moonlight that shines every Mid-Autumn night.

COLORS OF
​LOVE EXHIBITION
When I was in elementary school, I joined the “Colors of Love Exhibition” as the youngest volunteer. At that time, I didn’t fully understand the meaning of “volunteering”, I just knew that I wanted to do something, no matter how small, to bring joy to others. I helped the older students hang paintings, arrange tables, fold cards, and guide visitors, simple tasks that, to my surprise, filled me with a quiet happiness that comes from working together and giving from the heart.
I still remember that afternoon, when the sunlight streamed through the windows, casting a warm glow on the paintings drawn by children, pictures about love, kindness, and gratitude. It was in that gentle moment that I realized art could touch the soul, and compassion could be painted through every brushstroke and every smile.
The “Colors of Love Exhibition” may have been a small memory, but it was where I learned my very first lesson about sharing that: Sometimes, a helping hand or a kind gaze is enough to make the world a little softer, a little warmer.
