Being a Vietnamese girl who was born and grew up in a developing country together with two and a half years working with NGOs, I am really interested in developmental economics and international co-operation because they are really important for my career and for my country in general. It was the reason why I chose MESCI and after finishing the course I returned to my country. I am currently working for GVC (Gruppo di Volontariato Civile) - an Italian NGO in Vietnam - as a Project Coordinator for two projects benefiting women, at the same time I also support another programme in my organisation which aims to support disabled children. MESCI has enlarged my perspective of development and it really helps a lot because in Vietnam, we don't have a lot of development professionals who have studied development related specialisations. I appreciate all the opportunities that MESCI has brought me.
