End of an Era

Connections Vietnam is coming to the end of an era - three of our greatest student guides ever who have been with us since the beginning are all graduating (or already graduated) and moving on to bigger things. They are: on the left, Bao Anh. Next to him is Thuy Van and at the back left is Minh Giang.

Center right is Ms Nghia, one of our most popular chefs, it is also her house where a lot of cooking classes have taken place over the last three years.

Our friends Bao Anh, Van and Giang told us how Connections had really helped them develop their skills, their confidence and their English. Problem solving comes into as well, having to think on their feet during some of those Dine and Meet tours...! Bao Anh recently was hired as a management trainee for Johnson and Johnson, after presenting to the board of directors. Van is off to Thailand for a months voluntary work and hasn't decided yet whether to do a Masters next year...Giang is also working in her new job after graduating from University. I was extremely proud to hear how our small company had benefited these wonderful young people, and they all swore that even when they all have full time jobs they still want to do tours...so it's not really the end. Thanks for all your hard work guys!
