INTRODUCING THE TEAM FOUNDED OCTOBER-2010 What sets our organization apart is our unwavering commitment and passion. We are devoted to giving these children a healthier lifestyle and a promising educational future. Our efforts are focused on children living in the poorer, rural areas of Vietnam. We do not discriminate among ethnic backgrounds, religions, minorities or medical circumstances. Every child deserves our assistance.

O U R N E X T G E N E R AT I O N Trinity Vu For years now I have been involved with non-profit work throughout out the world. Being a part of Viet Dreams for over 8 years has helped my mission stay connected with the rural areas of Vietnam. This time I personally fundraised over $5000 to help the kids at Tra Bui elementary school in Quang Nam. All it took was reaching out to my network, friends and families. They helped spread the words and ask for donation. In a couple of months we raised enough for a clean drinking water system and school supplies for about 500 elementary kids. In addition, several dental offices reached out and donated almost 1000 sets of dental supplies. Thanks to the donors, this system now supports over 500 people living in this area. To make it more memorable, I took some volunteers as well as some of my family members along with me on this trip to share the experience. Through this project, I hope to reach out to younger generations to be more involved like myself. If one idea can help 500 unfortunate kids, think about the kind of support we all can do. Cassandra Yu & Karina Chan hosted their own tournament “Battle of the Birds� at Synergy Badminton Academic with more than 100 people attended. They raised total more than $5,500 which provided 2 clean drinking water systems for 314 students in Quang Nam, Vietnam
Westview High School VSA Club- San Diego raised more than $6,200 since 2016 to support 4 schools benefiting 2,325 students in Vietnam 4
