Giang Le-Huy - Education and Community Work

Education and Community Work

Giang studied and worked in the banking industry in Vietnam.

Since the early years of her life, Giang had been interested in acting. After deciding to permanently settle in the Down Under, Giang attended a drama course in South Australia.

Giang then continued studying and received formal training. She worked in various areas including Couple Therapy, Financial Counselling, Family Support and Australian Migration Law while tirelessly and voluntarily helping refugees and migrants settle in South Australia.

As an active advocate for women in various areas including employment, health, recreation and life styles, Giang took up and successfully completed a post graduate course in Women’s Studies at the University of Adelaide.

As registered with the Migration Agents Registration Authority,, Giang provided free advice to refugees and migrants on the Australian Migration law from 1992 until she retired from this industry at the end of 2006. Giang still advocates for women, practises as a qualified Couple Therapist and helps the community in her capacity as a Justice of the Peace for South Australia.

Between 1990 and 2008 Giang was employed as a Multicultural Services Program Co-ordinator for a community welfare agency in Adelaide, managing and training cultural staff from Spain, Afghanistan, Chile, Iran, Iraq, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Sudan, Germany, Poland, Bosnia, Cambodia, Albania, Russia etc. providing various services to their own communities. In addition to that, in 1998, Giang created an annual Multicultural Festival for refugees and migrants to showcase and maintain their cultures in Australia; and speed up their settlement.

After spending more than 20 years in assisting many ethnic people and communities in the social and welfare work in South Australia, Giang left this industry in late 2008 to pursue a new path in Metaphysics and Complementary and Alternative Medicine with all its various holistic therapies; a thing she had a great passion for.

Famous quotes containing the words education, community and/or work:

    “She gave high counsels. It was the privilege of certain boys to have this immeasurably high standard indicated to their childhood; a blessing which nothing else in education could supply.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “I don’t think Dr. King helped racial harmony, I think he helped racial justice. What I profess to do is help the oppressed and if I cause a load of discomfort in the white community and the black community, that in my opinion means I’m being effective, because I’m not trying to make them comfortable. The job of an activist is to make people tense and cause social change.”
    —Al, Reverend Sharpton (b. 1954)

    “The great work must inevitably be obscure, except to the very few, to those who like the author himself are initiated into the mysteries. Communication then is secondary: it is perpetuation which is important. For this only one good reader is necessary.”
    —Henry Miller (1891–1980)
