Be The Change ...
Mahatma Gandhi said, "Be the change you wish to see in the world." After travelling extensively throughout the world, and especially in Southeast Asia, Dr. Dane Hoang and her sister, Thanh, realized that they could be that agent of change in the lives of needy children in Vietnam. With a firm belief in their commitment to children and a passion for service ignited by their travels, the sisters established the Le Hoang Foundation, a non-profit organization with a goal of providing education and health services for the youth of Vietnam. Through education comes empowerment, and through empowerment comes the independence and the ability to break free from the shackles of ignorance and poverty.
Every journey begins with a small first step. Dr. Dane and Thanh would like to kindly thank their generous benefactors, all whom have chosen to take this journey at their side. Their commitment to change will undoubtedly make a difference in the lives of the economically disadvantage children of Vietnam. Also, we would like to thank the following individuals for accepting our invitation of becoming members of Board of Advisors for the Le Hoang Foundation. These individuals have demonstrated exceptional expertise in the field of healthcare, business, media, law, education, and public service: Rev Phong Pham, Dr. Minh Le & Linda Hoang, Mr. & Mrs. Jackrin and Chutima Leeburajin, Mr. Viet Hoang, Mr. Hoang Pham, Mr. Adam Bass, and Ms. Van-Anh T. Vu.
Our first fundraising event benefiting the Le Hoang Foundation will be held at Nobu Dallas at Cresent Court Hotel in December. A silent auction of items donated by many generous colleagues and friends of Dr. Dane and Thanh are listed below along with the link to their websites. Again, we are grateful for your support!
