W: Can I help you?
M: I'm trying to find a present for my wife's birthday. Your jewelry is really beautiful—these designs must have taken you a lifetime to create.
W: Well, thank you! But I've actually only been in jewelry for a couple of years. I was a nurse and had a bad back, so I was advised to try something lighter.
M: And you took up jewelry?
W: Not immediately. I did an evening course in life drawing at a school of art, hard work but fun, and then when I saw some of the jewelry that students produce, I was addicted!
M: It must all be a total change from nursing…
W: Well, it was a bit of a shock not having a regular income.
M: I've never seen anything like these delicate glassy shapes you've put into your designs.
W: I have been very lucky because my work became popular and fashionable right away, so this made me sure I should continue along the same lines, but I still leave the making to the last minute. I find I do my best work when I'm under a bit of pressure actually.

Earlier this year, 24-year-old Pham Minh Dap and his brother established a school they called Stand By You. Volunteers teach poor students English and Japanese. Many classes are free. Mr. Dap pays about $500 to rent the language center space and for other costs. He gives about $150 from his earnings as a street seller and private language teacher. His brother gives the same amount from money he earns as a secretary. Friends provide the rest.
