Jean will talk about her journey "Escaping Viet Nam"

Jean is the youngest of seven siblings.  At the age of 12, she fled Vietnam with her older sister and 44 other people.  After risking their lives, braving the treacheries of pirates and the stormy weather of high seas, they survived 5 days and 4 nights at sea. They were saved by Malaysian fishermen. They spent 14 months in three different refugee camps with bare necessities and with nothing to eat. 

When she finally arrived in America and re-united with our other siblings, Jean was determined to be the best person she can be, by taking care of her family and to help those unfortunate.
