VOTW - Evonne Chau

I joined VCH to not only act on my interest in the
medical field but also utilize my Vietnamese to
positively contribute to the community. Growing up,
my brother and I were the only Vietnamese people at
our school. As a result, talking to my parents at home
and occasionally to my relatives on the phone were
the extent of my language usage. I love that VCH
gives me the opportunity to meet people of similar
interests and background while helping the
community be more knowledgeable and aware of
their health. My favorite part of volunteering at the
health site was using Vietnamese to interact and
connect with the patients as well as other volunteers.
