Projects that Grew with Me
“Can a student project really make a difference?”
I used to wonder that. Now, I believe it can.
Every project I’ve been part of started from a small observation: a debate that sparked curiosity, a short film that moved an audience, a visit that made me think deeper about compassion.
To me, the power of students doesn’t come from scale, but from the courage to begin — and to connect.
Xoài Xanh – Film for Empathy

Film, to me, is a language that reaches where words often can’t.
Through Xoài Xanh, I learned how storytelling can inspire empathy and spark dialogue. Our films were made to speak, not just to entertain, and the funds we raised went directly to support the communities featured in our stories.
Giant Buddy – Playgrounds for Healing
When I first started Giant Buddy, my goal was simple: to build safe playgrounds for children.
But meeting the kids changed everything.
I realized that true compassion isn’t about doing what we think is right — it’s about listening and understanding. Through each project, I learned to see the world from their eyes, and to create not just spaces, but moments of joy and healing.
Empathy begins when we stop assuming and start listening.
SenTia DECA – Where Ideas Become Action
As Founder and President of SenTia DECA, I built a space for students to explore business and management hands-on.
From hosting weekly workshops to organizing a city-wide DECA competition, I learned the meaning of leadership: staying calm under pressure, adapting when things go wrong, and keeping the team motivated no matter what.
VYLI – Voices of Youth, Leaders of Impact
At VYLI, I joined students from across Vietnam to design community projects around the UN SDGs. Together, we hosted youth events, built learning programs, and turned discussions into real actions.
Each collaboration reminded me how collective voices can lead to lasting change.
Connecting young changemakers nationwide.

Vision
What I aim for isn’t just one project, but a growing network— a community where students can explore, experiment, and create real impact.
My vision is to turn small “seeds” of ideas into bridges — between generations, between thought and action, between understanding and change.
