"THE
HORIZON LIES AHEAD OF US ALWAYS" is one the hightlight activities initiated by GIEU Vietnam with the aim not only to raise fund for helping children in need in the
central Vietnam which is our next destination after the first week in Hanoi,
but also to connect all members in the team together. This activity helps to make people
get closer together, we believe. We hope that this event will bring a good
impression about Hanoi to UM students. And of course, we are going to
have so much fun!
