Ton Nu Quynh Duong, 66, started her first work of public philanthropy in 2010 and has since devoted her life to it.
Her philanthropic mission began with a child care home of Phu Thuong at Phu Thuong Commune, Phu Vang District, Thua Thien-Hue Province, located in central Vietnam.
“[The children in need] call me ‘mom’ and I consider them my children too,” Duong said.
“In many cases, I feel richer than a billionaire because of having more than one hundred children, who are more valuable than gold or silver.
