Resilience<\/h4>

H. is from the Dao ethnic group. At the age of 16, she was sold to a Chinese man to be his wife. A year later, H. was rescued and returned to Vietnam, but she was stigmatized in her community as a trafficking survivor, forcing her to drop out of school. A social worker introduced H. to our Compassion House in Lao Cai. . Through counseling and social skills sessions, H. became more confident. She graduated from high school and university. Currently H. has a stable job and lives happily with her husband and a daughter.<\/p><\/div> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Gratitude<\/h4>

G. knew about our reintegration services through an outreach event at her local market. She reached out to us for support and became a resident at our Compassion House in Lao Cai. G. has since graduated from Lao Cai College of Education and supports our market outreach events as an interpreter. As a Hmong woman, she wants to make trafficking prevention information more well-known to her community so no one else will become victim of trafficking.<\/span><\/p><\/div> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Grit<\/h4>

When P. came to the Compassion House at the age of 13, her father objected and did not want P. to continue her education. He took P. home and arranged for her to get married, but P. refused. Together with a Compassion House social worker, P. persuaded her father to support her studies. She wanted to become a chef and in 2019, P. graduated from KOTO Humanitarian Vocational Training Center in Hanoi. She achieved her dreams and became a chef at a Thai restaurant.<\/span><\/p><\/div> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Courage<\/h4>

D. is a trafficking survivor who arrived at our Compassion House in 2015. D. dreams of becoming a doctor but she thought studying medicine would be too difficult for her. Together with the pressure from her family to return home, find a job, and get married, D. nearly gave up on her dream. Through many consultation sessions, we were able to support D. rekindle her determination to pursue her dream. After graduating high school, D. took a leap to move across the country, from Lao Cai in Northern Vietnam to Ho Chi Minh City in the South. Now, she is a third-year university student, on her way to medical school! D. shared, \u201cPacific Links Foundation has always been a solid support system for me, giving me motivation to work hard everyday.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
