Chit Nguyen (Nmn23@cam.ac.uk)
is reading Politics, Psychology and Sociology at Magdalene College. She´s from Vietnam where she has previously worked on a number of student-run initiatives including youth seminars, social entrepreneurship competitions and projects aimed at raising awareness. During her gap year she researched international trade in Vietnam and became really interested in the garment industry. Afterwards she had the opportunity to meet with many different groups of tailors including those with HIV/AIDs and special needs and was struck by their talent and determination: "I really hope that Alora can contribute in some ways to helping to create more opportunities for these women". Feel free to contact Chit with any questions on the project or the Vietnamese tailors.
Suhang Jiang (sj383@cam.ac.uk)
is doing an Mphil in Research in Second Language Education in the Faculty of Education. Designing fancy dresses has been a childhood dream for her although this is her first experience in the actual fashion world. "This project is very intriguing since it binds together two distant friends, fashion and charity". She is passionate about empowering women, both by getting them their uniquely styled dresses as well as funding talented tailors. She'd be more than happy to answer any questions you might have on the project.
