Volunteer of the Month, March 2018

I am a Master of Public Health focusing on Epidemiology. I am interested in applied research in health promotion.

What inspired me to become a Hepatitis Victoria volunteer

I grew up in Vietnam where Hepatitis is still a public health concern. I wish to continue my passion of preventing the spread of Hepatitis for the community. Hepatitis Victoria shares my care and I wish to contribute to this mutual goal.

One of my favorite Hepatitis Victoria sessions or moments.

I attended the Communication event of delivering Hepatitis prevention at a festival in North Richmond. I have never met so many Vietnamese communities as that day. Of course, we welcomed many other people with varied backgrounds.

What tips do I have for new volunteers?

If you have a passion, make sure you follow it and seek a chance to make it come true. If you like health promotion, Hepatitis Victoria is always a good place to involve in.

LiverWELL acknowledges the support of the Victorian Government.

We welcome people from all cultures, nationalities and religions. Being inclusive and providing equitable services is our commitment.
