In addition, students experienced visiting businesses in Ho Chi Minh City, providing them with the opportunity to explore typical initiatives related to physical and mental health in the region.
In particular, student groups will come up with project proposals to improve the health and spirit of the community. Winning projects will receive up to $10,000 to turn their ideas into reality.

Mr. Cameron Thomas-Shah - Acting Foreign Affairs Attaché of the US Consulate - shared that more than 100 young representatives from different countries across Southeast Asia will share a commitment to becoming seeds of positive change for society.
“Each of you has your own background, culture and perspective, but you all share a common goal: to create positive change. In the spirit of giving back to your community, remember the powerful words of Martin Luther King Jr: Everyone can be great because everyone can serve,” said Cameron Thomas-Shah.
The value of community projects
Dr. Scott Fritzen, President of Fulbright University Vietnam, believes that through community projects, students can not only acquire knowledge and skills but also form a mindset about change: how to find ideas, collaborate for positive changes...
In addition, according to him, students also know how to maintain and pursue their projects, because a journey to bring about change often takes a lot of time and contains many challenges.
