A journey to Hà Nam Like many other journeys, we planned to leave at 7 a.m. in a tiny van for Ha Nam, a region in Vietnam's Red River Delta. On the way, we visited the writer Nam Cao's temple and heard about his genealogy as well as his life as a warrior, martyr, and journalist who devoted themselves to the August Revolution in Vietnam. Incensed at Nam Cao temple Learnt about genealogy and writer's life Nam Cao Temple One of Nam Cao's signature works is Chi Pheo, a renowned short tale about the tragedy of a poor farmer, partly re-enacting the period's unjust society. Nam Cao has affirmed his position via his work through his gifted writing and sophistication through a talented pen. I was especially impressed by the dialogue between the characters Chi Pheo and Ba Kien. Hence, after visiting Nam Cao temple, we were able to follow (the man in the image, whose name I don't know) to Ba Kien's house, where the famous short story by the writer took place. After a...

Studying I dont even know since when, hau dong came to me like a fate. At first, i did watched and knew this subject through some friends and relatives, but then, for some reasons, i started to feel interested with it.  So, first of all, for those who dont know yet, hau dong is a ritual in folk belief activities to worship the goddess Dao Mau in Shamanism of many ethnic groups. It may sound a bit confusing, but ‘Hau dong’ is basically a ritual of communicating with the gods through male or female companions. I started studying this subject just recently, probably around the end of last year if i am not mistaken. I was be introduced by a friend of mine, who also interested with this kind of activity. At the first session, I learned from the basic steps. However, it was really tough! Maybe because unlike modern dance, 'Hau dong' requires more complex and varied techniques than I thought. My first encounter with 'Hau dong' was really tiring, and my legs were extremely pain...

Fundraising In ethnic minority areas, women and girls suffer from double inequality. Specifically, 74% of ethnic minority households have all the land ownership and credit in the husband's name, while this rate among Kinh people is only 41%. The literacy rate for ethnic minority males aged 15 and over is 86.3%, while that of females is only 73.4%. Under the age of 16, the ratio of married girls to boys is three to four times higher (685 boys and 2,306 girls). In addition, while many boys in ethnic minority areas continue to attend school after marriage, most girls have to stay home from school to perform the "divine duties" of women. Ethnic minority women are not aware of their rights and the system that protects them against gender-based violence. Child marriage or forced marriage is still widely carried out in ethnic minority areas, although prohibited by the Constitution, the Law on Gender Equality, and the Law on Domestic Violence Prevention and Control. Many ethnic m...

Crochetville project In French, “Crochet” means hook, and “ville” means city. Along with the students in Hanoi, with passion and enthusiasm, I founded our brainchild “Crochetville”. Knitting is a recognizable image in the daily life of my grandmother and mother. Because of that, grandma is the one who inspired me with this small start-up as a unique perspective on this topic using natural resources to make new products which are suitable for the market. The profits raised by our organization are used to support underprivileged women and children. We want to bring brightness and hope to the less fortunate, and at the same time, spread a new perspective on this art form to the younger generation and those who still consider knitting solely for the old generation. Through this modest project, Crochetville aspires to help society and hope that the disadvantaged people out there will have a better life.

    Sac Viet Club Because of my tiny passion with Hau Dong, "Sac Viet" was established as a club about Vietnamese culture and art, where young people from Hanoi in particular and other provinces and cities in the country in general can share, maintain and protect the culture of the country. We hope to bring the image of Vietnam that is small but united, always has its own color, the gentle color of the Hue zither, or the vibrant but gloomy color of the Hau Dong to neighboring countries. All make a Vietnam full of colors, named "Sac Viet". Our club hopes that, as a Vietnamese, maybe the young generation still don't care too much about national identity. However, to some extent, we always have Vietnamese blood in our veins. We are proud that our country always has a color of its own, even though living in an integrated generation, it still has a beauty which is "Sac Viet".
