As one of four original staff working for The Asia Foundation, I was so impressed with the Foundation’s working environment: open, kind-hearted, and enthusiastic. This is not only relevant for the people in the Vietnam office but also for our colleagues in the San Francisco and Washington, D.C. offices. This is a place where my ideas are respected and my effort is cherished. I am proud of making the right decision—joining The Asia Foundation, a big family.”
