Abstract

This Harvard Business School case is about Harvard Kennedy School graduate, Phuc Huynh, who wants to establish Teach for Vietnam (TFV) in his home country and become an official Teach for All partner. It considers the concepts of giving back in one’s career and the process of deciding whether to give up on a seemingly unattainable goal or whether to persevere and follow through on a dream, despite multiple obstacles.
