In Vietnam, performances aren’t just entertainment — they’re a core part of every meaningful welcome 🎉🇻🇳

From official ceremonies to cultural exchanges, it’s almost guaranteed you’ll see a performance: a traditional dance, a heartfelt song… or yes, sometimes karaoke (because Vietnamese gatherings = music, always 🎤😆).

Here’s a sneak peek into the energy we love bringing to our welcoming parties✨

🎬 Editor note: We tried to make the reel fun… but let’s be honest, let the performance energy edits itself 😂🔥

🌸 Today celebrates the incredible women of Vietnam! 🇻🇳

Oct 20, 1930 to Oct 20, 2025, from the first day our women had the right to vote and take part in building the nation, to today’s leaders, dreamers, and changemakers - Vietnamese women have always stood strong and shone bright. 🌟

We’re inspired every day by the power, passion, and compassion of women - both within the ABROADER team and in the communities we serve.

Thank you to the amazing women - mothers, sisters, colleagues, and friends - for all the love, dedication, and inspiration you bring into our lives.

Happy Vietnamese Women’s Day! 🌺💐

🍂 Our second fall starter: a Virtual Internship with students from Susquehanna University, connected by @kayavolunteer !

We run virtual programs year-round but it’s been a long time since we last welcomed this school post-pandemic.

This year’s students are taking on an 8-week part-time internship in Psychology–Mental Health and Business Development with a touch of Science.

🙏 Huge thanks to our trusted partners SENBOX and STEAMax for giving them the chance to collaborate and grow.

🌐 Beyond their projects, students also join cultural exchange sessions with our enthusiastic local buddies, like this first Vietnamese lesson in the photo.

👏Working across time zones isn’t always easy, but it’s the perfect way to build time management, communication, and cross-cultural corporate skills. More updates coming soon, stay tuned!

ABROADER-ful moment: When an internship becomes a family journey, and learning goes beyond the classroom 👏

Our last Monday of September started with something heartwarming. Rebecca is the very first student to kick off our Fall intake, here in Vietnam on the New Zealand Prime Minister’s Scholarship.

For the next 8 weeks, she’ll be interning with our trusted partner GreenViet, a consultancy in green building. She hopes to gain valuable real-world insights to enrich her Master’s studies.

But Rebecca isn’t on this journey alone. On her very first day at GreenViet, her little family joined her - specially invited by the company’s director for a workplace visit and a welcome lunch.

Rebecca shared that this experience is just as much for her children as it is for her: a chance for them to learn not only from books and school, but by living in a new country, experiencing differences firsthand, and growing through every moment 🥰

A meaningful journey — for both a professional and a family 💚

✨ Wholesome moment of the day: ABROADER team reunited with a former local buddy and AN ALUMNI!!

This time, it was with Patrick McGloine, who joined our 2024 Summer Internship in HCMC. Patrick has since graduated from St. Michael’s College and is now back in Vietnam for an 8-month Fulbright Scholarship program. We couldn’t be prouder. Congratulations once again, Pat!

If you’re curious, we enjoyed snails for dinner and watched Mưa Đỏ (Bloody Rain), a powerful film directed by the Vietnamese military. The movie left us with indescribable emotions—sorrow, heaviness, but also gratitude. And most definitely, it gave us a deeper, more authentic understanding of the past 🙏
