As the Founder of the Marpu Foundation, my dream of visiting Vietnam goes beyond mere exploration; it’s a journey rooted in my passion for environmental sustainability, cultural exchange, and community empowerment. Vietnam’s rich history, resilient people, and breathtaking landscapes have long captivated me. From the emerald waters of Ha Long Bay to the vibrant streets of Ho Chi Minh City, I see Vietnam as a country that blends tradition with modernity, much like the communities we work with in India. My work at Marpu Foundation focuses on promoting sustainable development, and I am particularly inspired by Vietnam’s efforts in areas like renewable energy, water conservation, and education. This trip will offer me valuable insights into how Vietnam has made such impressive progress, and I aim to bring these learnings back to improve the lives of the underprivileged communities Marpu Foundation serves. Vietnam’s resilience in overcoming the devastation of war, rebuilding itself into a thriving nation, is a powerful example that I hope to learn from and apply to our efforts in helping communities rise above their challenges in India. I believe that cultural exchange is key to personal growth, and by immersing myself in Vietnamese culture, I will gain a deeper understanding of how to foster inclusivity and adaptability values that are crucial for our work. Visiting places like the National Defense Academy and learning from Vietnam’s development model will not only enrich me personally but also equip me with practical knowledge to guide new projects in India. For instance, I am eager to explore Vietnam’s water conservation techniques and apply them to our ongoing borewell and water plant initiatives in rural India. Additionally, witnessing the innovative use of solar energy in Vietnam’s villages can inspire us to expand our solar lamp-making projects. This trip is not just about learning; it’s about creating a lasting social impact. By fostering cross-cultural collaborations between India and Vietnam, I hope to build partnerships that will lead to joint projects in education, sustainability, and community development. My journey to Vietnam will also serve as a story of inspiration for the youth we work with, showing them that global citizenship is within reach and that dreams can lead to tangible change. In selecting me for the VietJet Love Connection – Dreams Take Flight program, VietJet will not only fulfill a personal dream but also contribute to the long-term development of underprivileged communities in India. This journey will be a testament to how global experiences can drive local impact, and I am committed to bringing back insights that will empower the communities Marpu Foundation serves. This is a dream with purpose a chance to connect, learn, and inspire change.

Our love story in Vietnam was just the beginning. Years later, we're excited to create new memories with our TWIN bundles of joy!! As a family of four, we're eager to explore Vietnam's wonders together. We can't wait for our twins to experience the same magic that brought us together. We'll take them on adventures through: - Ha Long Bay's stunning islands and emerald waters - Hoi An's ancient streets and vibrant markets - Ho Chi Minh City's bustling energy and rich history - Hanoi's Old Quarter. - Landscape of Ninh Bình We'll share with them the flavors of Vietnam, from delicious pho to sweet banh mi. We'll teach them about the country's rich heritage and traditions. And, we'll watch them fall in love with Vietnam's beauty and charm, just like we did. Our family's love story with Vietnam continues, now with a new generation of explorers. We're excited to create unforgettable memories and make Vietnam a part of our twins' childhood. Who knows, maybe they'll find their own love story in this enchanting country someday!"
