"Everyone could change their lives with dreams and passion".

An orphan, a street child or a disabled student, or a youth living in extreme poverty ... all have chances for happiness as they have dreams and a will to change.

It is such a long journey from Young Volunteer Club to Living Dream today. Great thanks to Aleksandr Smechov for your very meaningful article of briefing this journey.

"In a country where young dreams are viewed as grandiose and unrealistic, one woman continues to inspire thousands of underprivileged children.

“Can I show you some of my old pictures?” asks Pham Lan Hoa. She reaches for a photograph and hands it over. There is a group of children in the grainy photo, tattered clothes, and wide smiles.

“I was the leader of the homeless children,” she says, laughing humbly. The photo was taken 14 years ago. At that time, Hoa was a student at the Foreign Trade University, but she also worked as a teacher in her spare time with the Young Volunteer Club, one of the oldest volunteer organizations in Hanoi."
