The Blind of Ho Chi Minh City

I founded Lights Beyond Eyes with a clear mission: to develop AI-driven tools and applications to enhance daily life for the visually impaired community.

As the founder, I established the vision and long-term strategy for the club. I directly recruit, train, and manage members across our departments (teaching, research, and communication). My responsibilities also include overseeing fundraising, event planning, and outreach to ensure the project's sustainability and visibility.

A primary focus of our work is education and direct impact. We established a strategic partnership with the Nguyen Dinh Chieu Special School for the Visually Impaired. I personally designed the curriculum and organized workshops on AI applications (like ChatGPT, OCR, and text-to-speech) tailored for the visually impaired.

To date, we have directly instructed over 50 visually impaired students at Nguyen Dinh Chieu School, helping them master the VoiceOver feature in ChatGPT to effectively support their learning.

I also direct fundraising initiatives, event logistics, and outreach campaigns to support organizations like the Thien An Shelter for the Visually Impaired, ensuring the club's sustainability and visibility.

I am deeply committed to scaling this initiative, with the future goal of reaching a wider community to ensure that no visually impaired individuals are left behind in the Technology 4.0 era.
