In 2017, Huong was selected to be one of the delegates for AVYLD in Sydney. She was asked to submit a business solution that would address an issue in Vietnam and benefit the local community. Little did Huong know that from the assignment she submitted, HopeBox would grow.
With support from AVYLD founders and alumni, HopeBox was further developed and without the recent fundraising from AVYLD, there would be no HopeBox Cafe.
