Eminent beauty Sam Nguyen, also celebrated as Di Ai Hong Sam, walked away with the crest honor at the Annual National United States Women of Achievement Pageant on November 15, 2015 held at The Queen Mary, Long Beach “Queen-Salon” Ballroom. The Annual National United States Woman of Achievement Pageant honors exceptional women who outclass in their communities. It awards acknowledgment and grants for community service and self enhancement through the arts and public speaking. The pageant is based on personal interview, speech or creative expression through the arts, fitness, formal wear and volunteer community service.
Besides the prestigious title, she was also a Top 6 Platform winner on the subject of Foster Care Reform and received the Brad Harper Style Award at the pageant. Nguyen earned acknowledgment for her assurance to her community service and leadership when she received a Certificate of Recognition from Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia. In tribute of her continued commitment, leadership and service, Nguyen was awarded a Lifetime Presidential Award from President Barack Obama this year earlier. She is not a new face in pageantry, and has earned numerous pageant titles, including: Ms. Texas Woman of Achievement 2015, Miss Asia Woman of Achievement International 2014, and Miss Vietnam University of Lincoln Nebraska 1994.
A television personality and philanthropist, Nguyen, will use the new honor to spotlight consideration to her Stable Anchor Manor (S.A.M) Foundation, which helps destitute, runaway and at-risk youth anchor their lives onto the right alleyway. Vietnam born beauty, Nguyen is taking her latest achievement to new heights and wants to call consideration to her organization, the S.A.M. (Stable Anchor Manor) Foundation, which she is currently endowing. The foundation is partnering with Caring Voices and will hold an event Nov. 26 in Santa Ana, California where S.A.M. will purchase and give away 200 blankets and sweaters and Caring Voices will nourish the homeless. Nguyen is working to make her foundation an official non-profit organization in the future. Her next grand aspiration is to open another S.A.M home in Orange County, California in 2016. “There is a still a lot of work to be done, and countless children in need. I hope that all of my accomplishments in the spotlight continue to shine a light on these causes,” Nguyen held.
Nguyen’s current triumph adds to her credits as a bejeweled pageant winner who continues to show she has more to offer than beauty and magnetism. She has remained true to heart by not only publicizing her love for children who are penniless, but by nurturing and fostering children in her own home. Nguyen currently has 8 foster children in her home and has several children of her own. Nguyen takes stimulation from her mother who had 11 children while also fostering and adopting 12 more children.
“I feel blessed to be able to give back to children. I have seen that through proper guidance, schooling, love and motivation, all of my children blossomed into brilliant young people. Children just need a caring, attentive environment to develop into strong, contributing members of society. I want to continue to highlight this philosophy through my platform and the S.A.M. Foundation.” She expressed.
Nguyen is a proficient scholar and entrepreneur, having gathered her graduate degree from the elite Harvard Business School. Nguyen is also a Doctor of Naturopathy, N.D.s, and endeavors to offer the healing clout of nature and the understanding of the body, mind, and spirit. These mammoth experiences have allowed her to develop her business acumen and institute non-profit organizations that progress her private platform of community service and finding homes for children. Nguyen is also qualified with fundraising for Vivo Nam, a Dallas-based non-profit organization, and One Body Village International Human trafficking.
