    Why BTL?

    I am Vietnamese-American. My parents are from Vietnam and came to the U.S. in 1975. I have a strong interest in helping Vietnam, and I plan to one day open a free school of my own in Vietnam and give back to my ancestral homeland. Through my volunteer work with Bridges to Learning I am staying connected to this history and giving back."
