️🎊 Lifestart Foundation is delighted to congratulate our long-term scholarship recipient An on her graduation! She has recently graduated with a High Distinction degree from the English Translation and Interpreting program at Danang University of Foreign Language Studies, achieving an impressive GPA of 3.61 out of 4.0. Notably, during her fourth year, she excelled with a perfect GPA 4.0 for both semesters.

An has been a Lifestart Foundation Scholarship recipient since Year 7 and is the first in her family to attend and graduate from university - a truly remarkable milestone!

🌾 Hailing from a humble farming family of five, An’s parents have always worked tirelessly to provide for their three children despite earning a very limited income. Her father is a rice farmer who also takes on painting or builder’s assistant jobs to earn extra money, while her mother, with fragile health, mainly stays home to care for the family.

The Lifestart Foundation Education Scholarship has been truly life-changing for An and her family - enabling her to pursue her studies without financial worries and allowing her parents to focus on supporting her younger siblings. Over the past 10 years, the scholarship has not only covered her education expenses but also provided timely assistance during the pandemic and natural disasters.

👏 Throughout university, An was known for her strong work ethic, dedicating 6-7 hours a day to self-study, and increasing to 8-9 hours during exams. Her favourite subjects were translation courses, as they helped her strengthen her interpreting and translation skills.

An’s passion for English began in Grade 3, and by Grade 6, thanks to her homeroom teacher’s guidance, she decided to pursue English as her lifelong path.

Currently, An is working as an English teacher for kindergartens in her hometown while also running English classes at home. She is also completing her Primary Education Teaching Certificate, with the goal of becoming a primary school English teacher near her hometown in the future. 🌱

“I chose to teach because I love working with children in the school environment.” - An shared.

Once again, congratulations An on your graduation and all your hard work! We look forward to seeing you achieve even greater success as you continue to inspire young learners. 🌼

Upon graduation, An shared a moving letter, expressing her gratitude and outlining her exciting plans ahead. We invite you to read her inspiring message.

🌟𝐌𝐄𝐄𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐅𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐌 - 𝐔𝐘𝐄𝐍🌟

Today, we’re delighted to introduce you to Uyen, one of the dedicated team members at Lifestart Foundation.

Uyen has been a member of the Lifestart Foundation team for the past five years. Her multifaceted role includes mentoring and teaching English to our scholarship students, managing administrative tasks, handling social media and press releases, capturing project moments through photography, and supporting our In-Country Manager with the implementation of key initiatives.

𝐔𝐲𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫, 𝐊𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐋𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐎𝐀𝐌, whose unwavering spirit of philanthropy continually drives her to give her very best. Working alongside Karen has been a transformative experience – Uyen has learned so much and grown in ways she never imagined.

Watching our students - a group marked by resilience and determination - achieve their goals fuels Uyen’s own passion for lifelong learning and disciplined growth. She’s proud to be part of a team that truly uplifts communities, and she remains committed to empowering the next generation toward a brighter future.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐔𝐲𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐞𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭:
- “It doesn’t feel like a workplace - it feels like family.”
- “We’re supportive and always ready to help one another.”
- “Everyone of us is friendly, encouraging, and ready to lift each other up.”
- “We’re united by our shared passion to make a difference.”

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐰 𝐔𝐲𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐆𝐎 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞?
Despite Vietnam’s rapid development, she knows many families still face extreme hardship. Education and community projects, she believes, open doors to opportunity - and being part of that mission gives her a powerful sense of purpose. For Uyen, it isn’t just work; it’s a way to “pay it forward,” grow alongside her community, and bring lasting change - even through small actions.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐔𝐲𝐞𝐧?
Seeing our scholarship students flourish - growing, achieving, and thriving - is what makes it all worthwhile. She lives every day with the dream of helping the youth of her hometown, and of Central Vietnam more broadly, to overcome challenges and create brighter futures.

Thank you, Uyen, for your heart, passion, and dedication. We’re honoured to have you on the team! 💛
