Every year, the Thien Chi Center in Duc Linh region coordinates with local authorities in Hoai Duc, Tra Tan, Nam Thanh, and Duc Linh to organize a cross-country run to raise scholarship funds for underprivileged students in the area.
The event is not only an opportunity to promote physical fitness but also carries deep community significance. Driven by the spirit of "every step – a act of sharing," a large number of students from all grade levels, staff, and local residents joined in, creating a vibrant and united community day.
This year, the activity attracted 28,209 participants, including students of all levels as well as local staff and residents. The funds raised will be used by the local authorities to award additional scholarships to students facing difficult circumstances, supplementing the scholarship program currently supported by the Thien Chi Center through funding from Mekong Plus.
The most meaningful aspect of this event is the collective effort of the entire community. Each runner participates not only for their own health, but also to contribute a small part toward supporting students on their educational journey. From simple steps, the community together creates greater opportunities for underprivileged children.
The Thien Chi Center would like to express its sincere gratitude to the local authorities, agencies, schools, officials, teachers, students, and everyone who enthusiastically participated, supported, and contributed to this meaningful cause.
We would also like to thank the local government for consistently coordinating and maintaining this annual fundraising run. This ongoing partnership not only helps support more students in need, but also spreads the spirit of solidarity, sharing, and community responsibility.
Running together – Sharing together – Empowering their future.
