School on the Boat
Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City may both be in Vietnam but there is quite a distance between them, culturally, geologically and politically, as well as in distance (approximately 1800km!)A team of 9 of us have decided that it would quite something to cycle all the way there.WHY?!Firstly it will be an incredible journey, Vietnam is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Secondly we all feel that the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of Uncle Ho himself is one not to be missed. It is also a huge challenge physically and mentally, it’s a bloomin’ long way to cycle.Most importantly however we are taking this challenge on for charity. Many of us have our own personal charities that we would like to support but as a team our main charity for the ride is a local Hanoi charity called, ‘School on the Boat.’ They provide seek to provide an education for all of Hanoi’s poorest children.Visit the link below to find out more about the great work they do here in Hanoi.http://schoolontheboat.fr/?lang=en
