The journey of dedication of young people carrying the flame of youth in their hearts

Vietnamese female student spreads spirit of dedication in "foreign land"

Born in 2001, currently a fourth-year student at the Faculty of Economics , Teikyo University (Tokyo, Japan), Ngo Thi Anh Tuyet is one of the typical young faces of the Vietnamese youth and student community in Japan. Not only has outstanding academic achievements, Tuyet is also known for her dynamic spirit, responsibility and enthusiasm in community activities.

With the desire to connect and share with the Vietnamese community abroad, Anh Tuyet soon participated in the activities of the Vietnamese Youth and Student Association in Japan. In her role as Head of the Culture and Sports Committee for the 2023-2024 term, she is a familiar face in many major events such as the Vietnam Festival in Tokyo, Osaka, Yoyogi, Xuan Que Huong, Tet Viet Saitama or cultural exchange programs in Kanagawa and Ikebukuro.

“Each event is not only a place to meet and connect, but also an opportunity to promote the image of Vietnam and its people to international friends. The joy of the community is the greatest motivation for me to continue contributing,” Anh Tuyet shared.

Coming to Japan in 2020, right at the time of the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak, Anh Tuyet experienced extremely difficult days: prolonged online learning, lack of jobs and language barriers that sometimes caused her to fall into crisis. However, it was this challenging period that helped Tuyet hone her courage, persevere in learning Japanese, and get used to the Japanese culture of discipline and time management.

"I realized that as long as you have the will and spirit of progress, you can overcome your limits no matter where you are," Anh Tuyet said.

Participating in the Association's activities helps Tuyet become more mature, knowing how to balance between studying and contributing, and at the same time imbued with the spirit of "putting public interest first", always putting the collective interest above personal interest according to the ideology of President Ho Chi Minh . Learning from Uncle Ho is not just about words, but a way of living each day with perseverance, dedication and community orientation, Anh Tuyet believes.

Currently, Anh Tuyet is the President of the Vietnamese Youth and Student Association in Japan, a member of the Standing Committee of the Union of Vietnamese Associations in Japan, and has made many contributions in supporting, connecting and accompanying the international student community. She also takes on the role of Head of the Organizing Committee of the VYSA Kanto Badminton tournament, contributing to promoting the sports movement of Vietnamese people in Japan.

Not only being active in the Association's work, Tuyet also achieved many proud achievements: Third Prize in the Japanese Presentation Contest organized by Teikyo University; Excellent Student Scholarship of Teikyo University; Badge of Advanced Youth Following Uncle Ho's Teachings, Session VIII; Certificate of Merit for Outstanding Youth with Active Activities Abroad from the Central Committee of the Vietnam Youth Union. She is also a volunteer interpreter and Japanese MC for many cultural and tourism exchange events between Vietnam and Japan organized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

As a young leader, Ngo Thi Anh Tuyet has always been a pioneer, an inspiration and a solid support for more than 150 permanent members and more than 300,000 Vietnamese youth and students in Japan. Anh Tuyet's image is a testament to the new generation of Vietnamese youth, brave, intelligent, compassionate and always looking towards the Fatherland.
