Overseas Vietnamese of Nghe An origin spread love through charity activities

Hoang Thi Quynh Anh, 35 years old, was born in a poor village in Hung Tay commune, Hung Nguyen district (Nghe An), in a farming family with 4 siblings. Her childhood was associated with difficult days, when the family struggled to find food and clothing. Since the age of 7, Quynh Anh has earned money to buy books by picking water spinach, catching crabs, and catching snails to sell at the market. It was those difficult years that trained her to be independent, strong-willed and entrepreneurial from a very young age.

At the age of 22, during a trip through Southeast Asian countries, Quynh Anh realized the great potential in the Cambodian market. With a sharp vision, she decided to start a business here. In just 3 years, this woman has built a large retail business on e-commerce platforms, creating jobs for nearly 100 employees. Here, she has organized many charity trips to highland and flood-prone areas in Cambodia, bringing joy and hope to poor children.

In 2021, she married a Swiss teacher and moved to Switzerland to live. However, the sudden change in living environment, culture... made her fall into depression. To overcome the difficulties, she created a fanpage Quynh Anh in Switzerland, where she shared her life in a foreign land. The simple, humane videos with gentle storytelling and beautiful scenery helped her become an online phenomenon, spreading the message of love for life.

After 3 years, she started her business again and achieved initial success in Switzerland. At the end of 2024, she returned to her homeland Vietnam, continuing her journey of spreading love. She went to the border areas in Ha Giang, giving rice, warm blankets, and cash to poor students, and sponsored 12 homeless elderly people and many students in special circumstances.

Not stopping there, she continued her volunteer journey in Hue, where she planted 2,000 trees worth 250 million VND to green the forests of the Central region. She believes that planting trees is sowing seeds of life, protecting the environment for future generations.

Ms. Quynh Anh always has a heart full of love and sympathy for the unfortunate. Born into poverty, she understands and always wants to support children in the same situation as she experienced. In the future, she plans to continue volunteer activities in her hometown Nghe An, awarding valuable scholarships and supporting poor children to overcome difficulties, helping them have the opportunity to write a brighter future.

She confided that love and sharing are the beauty deeply ingrained in Vietnamese culture. Even though she is in a foreign land, she always looks back to her homeland with gratitude and a desire to contribute.
