“I never thought that it would be an environment where I would call home. Though my team and I went through hell, it was all worth it in the end. To see each one of us go out of ways, do things for each other. It produced an overwhelming experience that amplified myself to be more self-driven with a can-do attitude.” Tet Festival, Logistics Co-Director
Ngoc Han - Registered Nurse
