I have always been passionate about my heritage and the land where my ancestors shed their blood for our very existence. Vietnamese culture has shaped my identity—from attending Vietnamese school every Sunday to leading my school’s Vietnamese Student Union.

While I’ve long advocated for climate change awareness and pollution reduction, I hadn’t actively worked toward change—until now. Through this project, I hope to take meaningful action . I understand that pollution isn’t the only issue, but its effects are deeply urgent.

The Mekong Delta is a vital region for agriculture and tourism. Fish and crops from this area are major exports, yet pollution threatens that livelihood. For example, when fish consume microplastics from polluted tributaries, it harms the entire food chain—including us. Pollution here leads to lost income for fishers and farmers, food insecurity, and the destruction of biodiversity.

Knowing that this is the motherland where my parents and grandparents grew up drives me to create change—for the people who still live there and for generations to come. I hope by supporting Non Governmental Organizations in Southern Vietnam through donations, we can bring a long term and impactful change to Southeast Asia.

This passion project is not just a 3 month or 1 year thing, I hope to keep this non-profit going for as long as possible and pass it on to a new generation of passionate, youthful Vietnamese leaders.
