Name: Brittanie

Birthplace: Vietnam

Education: University of California, Irvine.

What is the purpose of this website?
You mean aside from blatant narcissism? To raise awareness in charitable giving and helping others. I choose to do so through raising funds with modeling jobs, calendar sales, networking, and ongoing commentaries about my activities to provide a gentle reminder to “pay it forward”.

What's your story?
I am grateful for my life here in the United States and the amazing story of how I arrived after having fled Vietnam before the fall of Saigon. (Click here to read my family's journey). I have considerable empathy and compassion for the pain and suffering of others because of my history. I am here because of the kindness of others, and I’m going to make it my life’s goal that my actions come full circle to help the millions of refugees and others in need.

What's your store about?
We are in the process of developing the official www.brittanie.com calendar for 2008. This will be a non-adult themed calendar to help drive awareness about giving. By letting me know how you contributed your time or donation to charity, you’ll get it for free (only pay for shipping).

Where can I find out more about the work you are doing?
