All I want for my birthday is a Masters Degree!

Kia Ora!

My name is Anh Thu Anna Nguyen, and for those of you that know me, singing is a monumental part of my identity. By the grace of the universe, I have been able to successfully audition for my dream school Guildhall School of Music & Drama for my Masters in Performance! Candidly speaking, coming from a low-income immigrant family, this pathway is obscenely expensive for me to pursue, and so up until my departure in September, I will be fundraising to hell and back to make this dream accessible.

Starting off this fundraising campaign is me running a cheeky birthday Givealittle this month, where if you wanted to give me the best and most meaningful birthday gift ever, whatever you can give towards my dreams would mean the world (and genuinely be part of the difference between me staying and going). It's a hard time out there for everyone, so even if all you can afford is a prayer for me - that is truly enough.

There are many more fundraising efforts I have planned throughout this year including multiple concerts and another crowdfunder so please keep your eyes peeled for that!

Thank you for all of your support thus far, I wouldn't have made it to this point without the belief and aroha of my village. I hope to do well, and make my Kiwi singing community and my Vietnamese community as proud as can be.

Ngā mihi nui,

Anna x
