Next Chapter
Leadership
President - Next Chapter
I became the President of Next Chapter in 2024. My goal was to bring books and spread my love for reading to poor rural areas. Under my leadership, we successfully organized multiple book-giving initiatives. So far, we have visited Phu Mau Village School Site - Van Ho, Son La; St. An’s Orphanage - Bui Chu, Nam Dinh; and Pa Co Primary & Secondary School - Pa Co, Phu Tho. I've prepared proposals that secured sponsorship of 300 books from Nhã Nam Book and 250 books from Milo STEAM and brought those books to these children. There, I realized that the children in the countryside have a lot of ambition; they just lack the right tools to help them. After class, I spent time talking to them. I taught them how to keep their books new for a longer time, how to read books for a long time without getting bored, and how to actually remember the things they read.
To me, Next Chapter is more than a project - nurturing a love for reading among underprivileged children is a personal calling. Combining my affection for kids with my belief in the transformative power of books, I sought to bring hope to rural communities that are often overlooked. This experience has been a profound teacher; it showed me that even a small gift, like a single book, can ignite a child's ambition. I learned that the most sustainable way to help is through connection - spending time teaching them not just how to read, but how to cherish and retain knowledge. Ultimately, I discovered that in the act of giving books, I received something far more valuable: a deeper understanding of resilience and the incredible untapped potential of our youth.
Seed of Hope
Vice President - Seed of Hope
As the Vice President of Seed of Hope, I am proud to lead a project dedicated to bringing warmth and companionship to elderly residents in social protection centers. We believe that no one should feel forgotten in their golden years. Every week, our team organizes intimate activities designed to foster connection, most notably our 'Chen Cha Hanh Phuc' (Cup of Happiness) workshop. Through the simple yet profound acts of sharing tea, exchanging hand-written cards, and engaging in heartfelt conversations, we strive to plant seeds of joy and belonging in the hearts of the elderly, ensuring they feel seen, heard, and cherished. Through my journey with Seed of Hope, I've learned that the greatest gift we can offer is not material, but our presence.
CNH Next Gen
My journey with CNH Next Gen—the only student-led organization dedicated to supporting high school aspirants under the Management of Nguyen Hue Specialized High School—began in 10th grade as a passionate member. Driven by the mission to inspire and guide 9th graders in conquering their dream school’s entrance exams, I was honored to be promoted to Head of Human Resources in my 11th grade. In this leadership role, I focus on nurturing the internal talent and synergy that bring our grandest visions to life, most notably our annual flagship event, 'Unlock Your Potential.' This event serves as a vital platform where we bring together expert speakers and educational consultants to provide middle school students with the strategic guidance and motivation they need. To me, CNH Next Gen is not just a club; it is a legacy of mentorship where we empower the next generation to turn their aspirations into reality.
