"UNICEF USA provides fundraising, advocacy, and educational support to boost UNICEF's greater mission of fighting for the rights of children around the world. Because of my background in immigration advocacy work, I understand the profound importance of UNICEF USA. Since I am applying for a position with UNICEF's field office in Vietnam, I am excited about the possibility to return to my roots in a region where my parents were born and raised. I believe my connection to the area and my knowledge of local government structures make me uniquely positioned to take on this role."
