Every project left a trail. Here’s mine.

The one holding the ledger.

I want to build something that outlasts me. I’ve learned it usually starts with a dream — the dream to be someone willing to count. So far, that’s been me for an autism initiative, a school musical and a reforestation campaign.

Different causes, same realization. This site is about what it was.

Who I am

Hi, I’m Tran Phan Duc, an IB Diploma student at The Olympia School in Hanoi. Every initiative starts as a dream and action and, for me, in a spreadsheet: a budget, a survey dataset, a supplier list. It ends up being about people, and about what stays behind.

What I’m curious about

Q.01

Why do we spend the way we do before we’ve earned a thing?

Q.02

Who do financial systems leave behind — and who says it has to stay that way?

Q.03

What drives a generation’s money decisions before anyone’s taught us how?

The thread

Looking back, the pattern is simple: I usually start with the numbers, and they usually lead me to people. The map shows how that happened, one stop at a time.

So what do an autism initiative, a school musical and a reforestation project have in common? Here’s the map.
