H’hen Nie Back in Vietnam, Donates Entire Cash Prize to Community
Vietnam’s representative, H’hen Nie, did not win the Miss Universe crown but she has won the hearts of countless supporters across the world, not just her countrymen – and that’s all because of her big heart for helping others plus the fact that despite her prestigious beauty title as Miss Universe Vietnam, her feet are firmly planted on the ground!

On Wednesday, H’hen was back in Vietnam and was greeted by an overwhelming number of supporters at the airport. It was a homecoming fit for a queen!
Even though the flight back home had been and tiresome, the young lady felt rejuvenated by the warm welcome she received from her people.

On her official Instagram page, H’hen thanked everyone for the support and told them that she was so overwhelmed by the support she received that she couldn’t help but cry tears of joy.
“Thank you for welcoming me back home. I didn’t feel tired, I didn’t cry. But I did cry because of your warm welcoming when I was back to Vietnam, those were tears of happiness,” H’hen wrote.

But while she didn’t win, H’hen did receive various prizes for making it to the Top 5. Part of this is a cash prize amounting to a whopping 1 billion Vietnamese dong (around $43,000).
For sure, the 26-year-old could buy a lot of things for herself and her family with that money but she chose to use the money to help others who are less fortunate.

The organizers of Miss Universe Vietnam were so impressed after learning about the beauty queen’s plan that they posted an announcement regarding the donation.
After making history for Vietnam by reaching to the final Top 5 in Miss Universe 2018, H’Hen Nie has received a total 1-billion-VND (~43 000 $ US) prize from various sponsors as well as her managing company.
She’s decided to donate 100% of her prize for social activites. She wants to complete her promise with her village to provide scholarships for poor students and complete her social project Room to Read (build more libraries in rural areas, support schoolgirls around the world). Such an amazing act of her ❤

That’s definitely impressive!

Elementary Students Praised for Playing “One Day” Using Ukuleles
Elementary students at a school in Mindanao earned praise online after playing “One Day” using their ukuleles for a presentation.
Many netizens were impressed about their skills, with some commenting that it’s a difficult piece to play on a ukulele, yet most of them nailed it! Wow.
Elementary Students Play “One Day” Using Their Ukuleles
A lot of people these days have this mistaken notion that kids are only fond of using cellphones and no longer enjoy playing with traditional toys or learning how to use a traditional musical instrument – because you can find lots of options for those online or with their phones.
But a group of students from Dipolog Pilot Demonstration School impressed netizens with their skills in playing the ukulele as they presented “One Day” for the school’s 100-year celebration.
Seated on the steps of their school, the kids played the musical instruments seamlessly, except for a few issues.

And while some netizens pointed out that one of the kids appear to be struggling with the proper chords and kept shifting around during the entire performance, the overall presentation is still quite impressive!
Many netizens even commented on the post of the Facebook page “Kung Taga-Oroquieta City Ka” that they were deeply touched by the kids’ presentation and were crying while watching. Awww.
A lot also praised the coaches who made this possible – and others felt proud of the children even if they had no idea who these little ones are.
It’s also quite impressive to see that the class had so many ukuleles. It is unknown whether the kids own the musical instruments or if the school provided them, but what’s clear is that their presentation is truly admirable.
What’s a Ukulele?
A ukulele is a type of string musical instrument that’s smaller than a guitar. It usually has nylon strings as opposed to the metal used in standard guitars.
The instrument also has four strings but isn’t considered a “kid’s instrument” only. Instead, it can be played by kids and adults alike.

Proud Vendor Dad Offers Free Taho after Daughter Passes Board Exams for Teachers
One proud vendor dad offered free taho for everyone when his daughter passed the LET (Licensure Examination for Teachers).
Netizens were even more impressed to learn that the young lady passed after doing a self-review.
Truly amazing, right?
Vendor Offers Free Taho after Daughter Passes Teacher’s Board
Passing the board exams is truly a milestone that everyone can be proud of – and most of the time, the parents are their children’s proudest cheerleaders!
Of course, spouses and kids also feel the same thing. For example, a taxi driver offered free rides after his wife passed the LET.

The proud parents of a student who passed that same LET are also offering free taho to their customers.
Bobby and Rose Torallo happily got a tarpaulin up to celebrate the success of their daughter, Rosebel Cielo Torallo. The young woman had graduated cum laude from Baao Community College in Baao, Camarines Sur.


Apparently, based on her mom’s post on Facebook, she had also self-reviewed for the licensure exams – and this made her success even sweeter for the family.
In the post of her mom, Rose, it showed that the family’s main source of income is from selling taho. It was through this that the parents were able to send their kids to school.

Rose lamented that there were times when people looked down on their because they are “just” taho vendors.
Thankfully, the family didn’t mind what these people are saying. Instead, they persevered and put their faith in God.
She thanked all her kids for cooperating and striving hard to succeed in their studies even if their parents are only supporting them by selling taho.

How to Celebrate Passing the Board Exams
There are many ways to celebrate passing the board the exams. Some of these are:
- Throwing a party
- Buying cake
- Going on a trip
- Treating your family, friends, or even strangers to something (such as a free rides from taxi drivers or free taho from vendors)

Jollibee Praised for Hiring PWD Crew (Communicates via Writing or Sign Language)
Jollibee recently earned praise for hiring a PWD crew who can only communicate via writing or sign language.
What’s great is that this isn’t the first time that the Pinoy fast food brand went viral for a similar thing.
Jollibee Goes Viral for Hiring PWD Crew
In the fast-paced world of a fast food restaurant, especially one as popular as Jollibee, the service crew is often busy.
Everyone needs to be ready to help out the customers and work hard to achieve the company’s goals of making them satisfied.

Still, the fast food company is making waves online for hiring a crew member who can only communicate via writing or sign language.
Netizen Mylene Manalo Consignado shared that she was in tears upon seeing a young woman named Maria Celeste working at a Jollibee outlet.

The young lady is in full Jollibee uniform but has a large nametag that also indicates she’s a PWD (person with disability).
The nametag isn’t there for shaming her situation but to warn the customers that she isn’t like the rest of the crew. They can only communicate with her through writing or sign language – and the communication is preferably in English.


The situation is heartwarming, especially because many business establishments aren’t likely to hire PWDs because of their limited abilities. Consider that Jollibee is a busy work place, it’s amazing that Maria Celeste got her chance to be part of the team.

Amazingly, this isn’t a first for the company.
Some months ago, Jollibee was praised for hiring a tattooed guy – considering that people with tattoos are often judged for their inks, particularly in the workplace.
Where to Learn Sign Language
Sign language classes are often offered in special schools, such as those for children/people with disabilities.
You can also find online tutorials or classes.
