Actor Manh Truong has been taking the role of an Ambassador in EDURUN for 2 successive years. He and his daughter have had such a memorable Sunday morning: “I feel very excited. It is a very meaningful running activity, especially when being with our family. Thanks to EDURUN, students would be more aware of the meaning and significance of their small actions, which help to build a strong foundation for them to learn and spread the lesson of love and humanity!”
In Ho Chi Minh City, on Sunday afternoon, the 8th of April, Ha Duc Chinh and Bui Tien Dung, two football players of U23 Vietnam, joined the exciting atmosphere with more than 5 thousand parents and students.

Apart from being a community activity, EDURUN is considered a chance for our family reunion.
Unlike other usual running competitions, the destination of EDURUN is humanity, love and sharing.
EDURUN is an opportunity for Vinsers to directly engage in organizing the program and practicing qualities and core values which Vinschool is trying develop in each Vinser.
Through this activity, the students could understand that “Care” is not just a core value in Vinschool slogan. By every single action, Vinsers are spreading positive things in life.
Vinsers were very proactive when taking different roles to organize this activity. Apart from keeping things order and guiding the participants, Vinsers stood along the running paths to encourage the participants and give them water if necessary.
A small thing with great meaning made that Sunday become far more unforgettable than ever. EDURUN was finally marked as a meaningful charity event. Many more comfortable and spacious classrooms and schools were constructed thanks to the funds raised from EDURUN. There are sustainable constructions, significantly supporting the learning of underprivileged children.
