One of her most meaningful experiences was volunteering with Habitat for Humanity in Nepal in 2014, working alongside 500 other volunteers from around the world to build 36 houses in a week. The schoolgirls in the photo remind Quyen of the importance of perseverance, open-hearted warmth, and connections across language barriers, and serving people in practical as well as intangible ways. In 2018, Quyen plans to join a Habitat Build in Jordan.
