[Vnbiz] Ha Giang

[Quang Tran Hai]

Dear anh Craig,

This is a great news in the new year. I remembered the " green summer"
programs that most students join every summer. When I was at my university,
we raised fund from companies to finance all of the programs. Students were
sent to remote area, lived and worked with locals, they supported the
elderly, taught children, organized sport events for the youth, and built
schools, ect... Above all these students were on their own budget, they came
to see the country, to understand the people, and to learn great lessons.

I am glad to see more and more ambitious and heartful youth activities like
this.

Happy New Year bros and sis.

Quang
