Lifestart Foundation is delighted to share that our Medical Scholarship recipient, Linh Phuong, has recently received a valuable donationโ€”a much-needed laptop to support her studies. Linh Phuong is currently a fifth-year student pursuing a degree in General Medicine at Da Nang University of Medical Technology and Pharmacy.

Like many of our students from disadvantaged backgrounds, access to essential educational tools such as a laptop is often a luxury they cannot afford.

Linh Phuong comes from a low-income family in Tay Ninh Province, nearly 1,000 kilometres from Da Nang City. Her family has faced years of financial hardship, compounded by the fact that both of her parents suffer from chronic illnesses. Despite their poor health, they continue to work tirelessly to support Linh Phuong and her younger sister, who is also studying General Medicine.

Determined to ease her family's burden, Linh Phuong has taken on various part-time jobs throughout her studies, including tutoring, waitressing, dishwashing, and domestic work. Despite balancing these responsibilities with the demands of medical school, she has maintained impressive academic results. Alongside her hospital rotations and classes, she dedicates seven to nine hours each day to self-study and is an active member of her university's Internal Medicine Academic Club.

Before receiving this laptop, Linh Phuong often faced difficulties managing her academic workload. With limited access to a reliable device, completing assignments, accessing online resources, and keeping up with the intensive demands of medical coursework were constant challenges.

Now, thanks to the support of Lifestart Foundation, Linh Phuong has a brand-new laptop that will significantly enhance her learning experience. It will allow her to access essential medical resources more easily, participate in online learning, and study more effectively as she continues her journey toward becoming a doctor.

This generous support not only empowers Linh Phuong to thrive academically but also brings hope to her family during challenging times. Inspired by her determination and resilience, we are proud to support her as she works toward her dream of bringing care and compassion to communities.

At Lifestart Foundation, we are proud to celebrate the achievements of our scholarship students, whose dedication, resilience and determination continue to inspire us. Today, we congratulate three remarkable students who have been recognised for their outstanding academic performance and perseverance throughout the past school year.

Quynh has achieved:

๐Ÿ† Third Prize in Physics โ€“ Da Nang City Excellent Students Competition

Quynh has been a dedicated Lifestart Foundation Education Scholarship recipient since Year 8. Following the loss of her father, her mother has become the family's sole provider, working long hours making shoes to support a family of five.

Despite these hardships, Quynh has remained focused on her education. She spends 6โ€“7 hours each day on self-study and achieved an impressive GPA of 8.9/10 in the second semester of Year 12, earning the title of Very Good Student. She hopes to pursue a health-related degree at Danang University of Medical Technology and Pharmacy and one day use her knowledge to improve the lives of others.

Quynh has developed a strong passion for Physics over many years. Since Year 10, she has been a member of her school's gifted Physics team, where she has enjoyed challenging herself with advanced problem-solving and expanding her scientific knowledge. Her dedication and genuine interest in the subject have contributed greatly to this outstanding achievement.

Linh has been recognised with:

๐Ÿ† Second Prize in Literature โ€“ School's Excellent Students Competition
&

๐ŸŒŸ Excellent Student Award

Raised by her single mother, Linh lives with her younger sister and elderly grandparents. Her mother works in a garment factory, earning around 5 million VND per month while supporting the entire household. At home, Linh helps shoulder many family responsibilities, spending around three hours each day cooking, cleaning and caring for her younger sister before beginning her own studies.

Her determination has never wavered. Studying 6โ€“8 hours every day, Linh achieved an outstanding GPA of 9.1/10 in Year 10 and proudly received the title of Excellent Student. Her greatest motivation is her mother, whom she describes as "both a mother and a father." Linh hopes that through education she can one day ease her mother's burdens and create a brighter future for her family.

Linh has a genuine love for Literature, seeing it as far more than just a school subject. Through every story, she discovers meaningful life lessons and gains a deeper understanding of people and the world around her. She believes Literature has taught her empathy, compassion and how to express her thoughts with honesty and clarity. This passion has inspired her to continually develop her knowledge and played an important role in her outstanding achievement.

Nhi has achieved:

๐Ÿ† Second Prize in Geography โ€“ School's Excellent Students.
&

๐ŸŒŸ Excellent Student Award

Nhi comes from a family of six and lost her father in a tragic traffic accident seven years ago. Since then, her mother has worked tirelessly despite poor health and an unstable income to support all four children through school. During the summer, Nhi and her brother take on part-time work, while she and her twin sister peel lotus seeds after school to help contribute to the family's income.

Through all these challenges, Nhi has remained exceptionally committed to her education. She studies 6โ€“8 hours every day and achieved an excellent GPA of 9.2/10 in Year 10.

Alongside her academic studies, Nhi has developed a deep passion for Geography. Fascinated by the relationship between people, nature and the world around us, she enjoys learning how Vietnam has developed through geography, science and human innovation. Her enthusiasm and commitment earned her a place in her school's specialised Geography team, where she continues to strengthen her knowledge and skills.

These achievements reflect far more than academic success. They demonstrate resilience, self-discipline and an unwavering determination to overcome adversity. We are incredibly proud of Quynh, Linh and Nhi, and we look forward to watching each of them continue to achieve great things in the years ahead.

๐Ÿ’™ Congratulations to all three students, and thank you to our generous supporters whose ongoing commitment makes these educational journeys possible.

The Lifestart Foundation team is profoundly grateful for the unwavering support of Dr. Wong's Trust. His kindness and enduring legacy, preserved through the provisions of his will, ensure that his philanthropic work continues to fund meaningful projects well into the future.

Born in China in 1931 to pharmacist parents, Dr. Geok Hua Wong endured significant challenges early in life. Amidst political turmoil and war, his family relocated to Singapore around 1940. During the Japanese occupation of Singapore in 1942, Dr. Wong, then just 12 years old, and his parents were detained in Changi Prison. Despite the hardships of internment, Dr. Wong cultivated a deep passion for learning, using every resource available to him.

After their release in 1945, Dr. Wong spent a few years in Singapore before traveling alone to Melbourne in 1949 at the age of 18 to pursue higher education. He graduated as a doctor from the University of Melbourne in 1955 and later specialized in Psychiatry. Over a distinguished career spanning public hospitals and private practice, Dr. Wong also provided expert testimony in high-profile criminal cases.

Beyond his medical career, Dr. Wong was a devoted patron of the arts, with his name inscribed as a major donor at the National Gallery of Victoria. Following his passing in 2015, a Trust was established to continue his legacy of generosity.

The Trust supports initiatives that align with Dr. Wongโ€™s vision of benefiting the community through measurable outcomes.

Dr. Wongโ€™s legacy lives on through the Trustโ€™s continued commitment to meaningful philanthropy, honoring his lifelong dedication to community, health, and the arts.

Amidst political turmoil and war, his family relocated to Singapore around 1940. During the Japanese occupation of Singapore in 1942, Dr. Wong, then just 12 years old, and his parents were detained in Changi Prison. Despite the hardships of internment, Dr. Wong cultivated a deep passion for learning, using every resource available to him.  After their release in 1945, Dr. Wong spent a few years in Singapore before traveling alone to Melbourne in 1949 at the age of 18 to pursue higher education. He graduated as a doctor from the University of Melbourne in 1955 and later specialized in Psychiatry. Over a distinguished career spanning public hospitals and private practice, Dr. Wong also provided expert testimony in high-profile criminal cases.  Beyond his medical career, Dr. Wong was a devoted patron of the arts, with his name inscribed as a major donor at the National Gallery of Victoria. Following his passing in 2015, a Trust was established to continue his legacy of generosity.  The Trust supports initiatives that align with Dr. Wongโ€™s vision of benefiting the community through measurable outcomes.  Dr. Wongโ€™s legacy lives on through the Trustโ€™s continued commitment to meaningful philanthropy, honoring his lifelong dedication to community, health, and the arts.  ----------
