Nguyen Thi Hoa

Deputy Director

"Working with farmers, getting to know and understand the realities of their lives and their difficulties has been an invaluable experience over the past ten years with CIDSE and SRD. This experience helps me to better apply my skills and knowledge to support them. One's idea of happiness might be different than someone else's. For me, happiness is sharing my knowledge and giving a helping hand to those in need."

Hoa also has skills in facilitating and conducting participatory rural appraisals and informal education for adults. In March 2006, Hoa was elected SRD Deputy Director by SRD staff.
