“There is a place to return to, that is home. Having people to love is family. Having both is happiness." Throughout the graduation ceremony on July 9 in Hanoi, the thing we heard the most was: "VietSeeds is home" - the loving home of many students in all parts of the country.

Graduation and Gratitude Ceremony 2023 was where 25 seeds looked back on their extraordinary journey of incubation and growth. And to name that journey, it must be the journey of the word "gratitude". We just feel so grateful that we are part of the VietSeeds family, grateful to have advisors who have accompanied us for four years, grateful that we always have each other by our side, trying and working together.

There were quiet moments, warm conversations, happy tears and satisfied smiles. The 2023 Graduation and Gratitude Ceremony in Hanoi was not only a beautiful memory for the seeds, but also a meaningful experience for sponsors, advisors, volunteers, families, relatives of graduating students and alumni. Because we all got to listen, share and witness simple but happy things.

The 2023 Gratitude and Gratitude Ceremony also carried Mami Cat Tuong's hope for resilient and strong seeds to face difficulties and challenges as well as dare to overcome their own trepidation and fears, after that we can find the sparkling light in our souls - the light that contains both dreams and ambitions. At some point, we will become the most beautiful version of ourselves!

“VietSeeds - Nurturing love and hope”. VietSeeds' journey of sowing love and nurturing happiness will be continued by the next generation of students. The 2023 Graduation and Gratitude Ceremony does not stop there, so everyone please follow the fan page to wait for the graduation ceremonies of Hue and Saigon seeds!
