Ngà* is a trafficking survivor who arrived at our Compassion House in 2015 and restarted her high school years. Ngà dreamt of becoming a doctor but she thought studying medicine would be too difficult for her. After finishing high school, she faced tremendous pressure from her family to return home, find a job, get married and Ngà nearly gave up on her dream. Our team persisted in career-life consultation and Ngà rekindled her determination to pursue her dream. Ngà took a leap to move across the country, from Northern Vietnam to Ho Chi Minh City in the South. Now, she is a third-year university student, on her way to medical school! Ngà shared, “Pacific Links Foundation has always been a solid support system for me, motivating me to work hard everyday.”
