VApedia Project by VietAbroaders

[Hồ Lê Việt Long (Squaresoft)]

Hi guys,

How's everybody doing? Let me do some introduction first: My name is Long Ho, currently a rising junior at Lafayette College. I'm double-majoring in Mathematics and Computer Science. I've been working with VietAbroader for a couple of years, probably 4 or 5 years. I was given this project a year ago and took charge as the project coordinator. However I was too busy to develop this project. As u guys know, it's summertime (yay!) and I believe we all have plenty of time in our hands so I really wanna get some business done.

VApedia is basically a wikipedia for VietAbroader and for people seeking US higher education as well. It's built on VA forum info as well as outside sources since forum info can be subjective and outdated. I'm looking for 4 to 5 kids who are interested in this project. Well things don't come for free so here are the benefits you guys will get:

- Working on this project will definitely helps improve ur English and Vietnamese at the same time
- Certain skills will be improved including teamwork, translation, research and analysis
- This is definitely a resume-boost for u guys 'cause VA is registered as an organization

Those are for ur part, as for my part:

- Students working with me will also get my contacts, which mean my friends from various schools and I'll guarantee that
- They can submit anything they want to me and I myself and my contacts can proofread it and provide certain feedbacks
- Since they're gonna work with each other for some times, I'll have enough basis to write each of them an individual recommendation letter, describing all the challenges and hard work they've been through
- Last but not least, I'm applying to my school, Lafayette College, for some funding for this project and if it succeeds, they'll get paid (prob not a lot though).

With that said, if u're interested, please drop me an email at [email protected] AND [email protected] and we can discuss this project more.

Cheers,

Long Ho

This project sounds rather interesting at least to me. But in the first place, we are no longer kids, plz pay attention to the word . You listed many benefits which are really cool, but no specific word what we have to do when involving in this project. Btw, i'm really interested \:d/

Oops, sorry for that but it's just how people in the US call their juniors. I think it's a fun word and I don't mind being called "kids" by my seniors.
U can think of "kid" as "junior", which mean a younger person in terms of age, experience or whatever.
Anyway, again, my apology

Oh I haven't included the responsibilities 'cause I haven't known the skills of my future team yet. U know, ur job is based on ur skills. As soon as I have a clear idea of how it's gonna work out, we'll get to work
