GVF launches new Apprenticeship program

As a way to help develop and nurture the next generation of humanitarians, Ms. Hayslip has opened up her office to include the “GVF Apprenticeship Program” in San Diego, California, the birthplace of her life mission and purpose as a philanthropist 35 years ago. Influenced by her journey back to Vietnam in 1986, she invites you to join her and GVF as an apprentice to help develop the right strategies to pursue your dream and vision to make a difference and give back to humanity, locally and globally, via philanthropic and humanitarian services.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, traveling abroad to remote areas has been challenging. Therefore, as an effort to continue our mission of uplifting humanity in both quality of life and spiritual well-being, GVF launches this apprenticeship program – this will be our main operation until international travel opens up again. A project personal to Le Ly herself, she explains her decision to launch the apprenticeship:

I am just an ordinary person. A third-grade education, a house-cleaning lady, and a single mom. Yet, I can do extraordinary things. So can you. Let’s work together.

Mission of the GVF Apprenticeship Program

The GVF Apprenticeship Program seeks to develop leadership skills in non-profit NGO work in local or international youth. The program stimulates the brainstorming and development of short-term or long-term projects focused on uplifting the lives of impoverished and disadvantaged people by using an approach of compassion, love, and wisdom. You will be joining a network of philanthropists who serve those who are less fortunate, regardless of nationality, culture, or creed. In addition, your host, Le Ly Hayslip, will share her experiences in humanitarian work that have touched the lives and souls of tens of thousands of people all over Asia and impart her knowledge on how to make a positive impact for those in need.

Description

In the GVF Apprenticeship Program, Ms. Hayslip will provide you with the perspective of positive thinking and thankfulness. Le Ly shows her appreciation of her lifetime achievements and experiences through her foundation’s humanitarian works. In return for her donors and volunteers’ kindness, Ms. Hayslip expresses her deepest gratitude and provides you with her wisdom and acknowledged advice and guidance on a diverse range of social issues. Once a war victim in poor Vietnam, and with cross-cultural experience moving to the US in 1970, Le Ly founded two successful non-profit organizations to aid her homeland, driving the construction of primary schools, orphanages, local health clinics and medical facilities, village markets, bridges, and roads. Additional projects include disaster relief during floods and cultural exchanges with international student organizations and universities.
