During their one-month journey, the cyclists will participate in various voluntary activities such as to popularize information of the role and values of Vietnam’s sea and islands and the protection of marine environment, raise people’s awareness of the dangers of land mines and unexploded ordnance left over from wars, and advocate traffic law and safety.
The cycling journey will spread a message of “uniting the community, sharing pain, helping the poor, protecting the environment, and connecting hearts”.
