🙏🏻 Volunteer activities at the end of the journey - sowing a seed of blessing for the new year.
On the last day of the Tet journey, we will spend time visiting the local orphanage or center for disabled children.
Here, each family can give a small gift, a lucky money envelope, but the greatest meaning is the warm presence, a blessing sent to the less fortunate lives.
This volunteer action not only brings joy to the children, but is also an opportunity for each of us to wash away the fatigue of the old year, sow more blessings, and open a new year with a lighter heart - brighter and more beautiful.
Vietnamese people still believe that:
"A good deed at the beginning of the year - a peaceful year."
Just a smile you give, a handshake, a simple New Year's greeting... is enough to resolve the incomplete things in your heart, and for you to return with a heart full of positive energy.
That is the most sacred gift that a spring trip can bring.
🎁 Free gift box "New Spring Peace": herbs, cards, couple photos
🚗 Private car to Hanoi
