My guest on the latest Vietnam Weekly Podcast episode is Thao Lam, Executive Director of the LIN Center for Community Development.
Thao has deep experience with NGOs and grassroots organizations, and we talked about how this sector has responded to the end of lockdown in southern Vietnam, as well as the challenges it still faces.
For example, it is easy to raise funding and get community involvement in the midst of a severe crisis, but creating sustainable action on long-term issues is more difficult.
If you’d like to learn more about Thao’s work, you can visit the LIN Center’s website, or check out their new You Impact initiative, which aims to raise awareness on how to effectively create positive social impacts.
