Mr. Nam Nguyen: from Mclean, Virginia
Mr. Bao Nguyen’s comments below are exactly on points and we both strongly felt affection for the organization. It is “beyond my expectations” as I mentioned to Christine during the trip. I am deeply appreciated to be included in the trip and looking forward to future opportunities. Can’t wait for the upcoming five-year anniversary! Together we can shift pain into wonder and love!!
Mr. Bao Nguyen: from Fairfax, Virginia
Congratulations Perspective Charity organization for a very successful spring mission to Vietnam this year (2024) I had the opportunity to join the team for this mission, and I was very impressed with the project. Even though It was a complex operation that covered several regions in the countryside, all activities occurred very smoothly and completed successfully! Thanks to the great leadership, well-run operation, and outstanding teamwork from USA, Saigon, and the local teams, we could see great results in every location that we visited. The poor and less fortunate kids from rural areas benefit greatly from this program! Job well done Perspective Charity! I am thrilled to have the opportunity to support the program and look forward to joining another trip in the future!”: — May, 2024

We love what you guys are doing, we love the mission, and we love you! It’s such a blessing in life that we’ve gotten to meet people like you with such a big selfless heart 🙏🏻♥️ we’ll support you and the foundation with all our hearts – June, 2023
Mrs. Nhu_Quynh: from Austin, Texas:
Dear Janny Phuong-An – Sending you a rose, a young mother who always does charity work. From facebook, I have seen pictures of you and your daughter went to Vietnam helping children in poor villages, how touching to see both of you and other volunteers working very hard to support young students who are in need of food and school supplies. Since I was young, I learned that “Better to give, then to receive”, that why I use my little retirement budget to contribute to your organization. My best wishes to all of you, always to achieve success and good health in order to serve the poor people in our country, Vietnam. W/Love – July, 29, 2022
Mr. Terry W. Albertson: From Chillicothe, MO
I served three tours of duty in Vietnam 1966-1969. As a Navy Seabee, I was assigned to do construction projects such as building roads, bridges, housing, airports, and other projects that were needed. I lived and worked in areas surrounding Da Nang, Hue and Phu Bai. I became acquainted with several Vietnamese families. I grew to love and respect the Vietnamese people. During a search for an old friend that I had met during the Vietnam war, I met a member of the Perspective Charity. We talked about the educational needs of children in Vietnam. This touched me. I have two Vietnamese American friends that because of family finances and logistics, as children were only able to attendv school, one through 3 rd grade and one through 5 th grade. These friends still grieve for the lost opportunities they had. That is a reason I feel so strongly that education is the most important foundation on which a person can build upon, achieve their goals and make their dreams come true. We have donated money for a young woman to attend college and provided funding for several young children to attend classes to learn the English language. We have decided we would like to be a sponsor through Perspective Charity in order to make a difference in a child’s life. We feel this will result in a very trong and successful Vietnam for years to come. – Jan. 2022
Mr. Paul Winberg: from Hot Spring, AR:
Thanks for all the info. When Dung first told me of this, I thought it was a great idea. I feel one of the problems facing the younger Americans is a lack of perspective regarding just how lucky/wealthy/privileged we are. I related that my Dad was an immigrant from Sweden at age 7. Landing in NYC, he had a rough time with the kids from other national groups but went on to great personal success with only an 8th grade education. We didn’t often speak about life issues, but I recall clearly the time he said to me “ I only wish I could have given you what I had as a child – to be born poor”. Jan 15,2020
Mr. Dung Duong (Advisor): Mclean, Virginia (used to be in Austin, Texas)
As a child, Dung Duong fled a third-world country, lived in refugee camps, was jailed, and found himself homeless before immigrating to the United States, ultimately growing up in poverty. A strong student and gifted engineer, Dung eventually found success as an entrepreneur and investor. In telling his full story, Dung doesn’t dwell on what he lacked in his youth. Instead, he focuses on what he did have: intrinsic motivation, a strong will, and the desire to positively impact the world. Perhaps, like Dung, you also have a desire to make the world a better place
Dung also is the author of Shifting Optics Book: In Shifting Optics, Dung shares his stories and honest recollections so that you can take them from the perspective if you wish. Told with a wink and a smile, he offers up his life’s story to show there is always a light in the darkness, there’s always a tomorrow, and there’s always a way to move forward and improve the world in our own unique way.
