Ms. Nguyen Thi Minh Thuy, principal of Nguyen Sieu Secondary and High School, Hanoi, organized the "Bicycle Companionship" race around West Lake and she and her 1-year-old child participated.
October 26-27 was an extremely exciting and meaningful weekend for students, parents and teachers of Nguyen Sieu Secondary and High School, Hanoi, when they participated in a series of Sports activities of Family Day. Notably, on the first day of the "Cycling Together" program around West Lake, Ms. Nguyen Thi Minh Thuy, the school principal, participated with her 1-year-old daughter.
Talking to Dan Viet Newspaper reporters about the motivation that made her organize the "Cycling Together" program around West Lake for cadres, teachers, employees and families of students of the whole school, Ms. Thuy said: "This year, the whole of Hanoi is bustling with flags and art programs, exhibitions celebrating the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the capital, I remember an old Hanoi with only bicycles and the clanging sound of electric trains... I remember myself as a child, when my parents took me around the city and back to my hometown across Long Bien bridge. I grew up on Pho Duc Chinh street, often cycling back and forth to West Lake...

Not only that, during my business trips in Europe, I took students to Denmark - where people mainly use bicycles and public transport, so the green happiness index is the highest in the world. When I went to England, I was also very moved when I saw many professors at Cambridge University cycling to work. When I went to the Netherlands, I was even more impressed by the popularity of bicycles. I realized that it is a simple and feasible way for the world to rebuild a green planet.
Responding to the launch of the Hanoi People's Committee and the Hanoi Department of Education and Training on building a green, peaceful and happy Hanoi; with the consensus of teachers and especially parents of students on the idea of organizing a "Bicycle ride" around West Lake, I was determined to organize this special cycling race.

We found this to be a great opportunity for families, friends and loved ones to spend some leisurely time cycling together, away from their daily hustle and bustle to get to know each other better. After the experience, many members also shared their intention to start forming a new habit: cycling on weekends with family and friends, contributing to creating a green environment.
Recreating an old Hanoi that is very meaningful to the city today; creating a new experience for many people who have forgotten the golden time when life is busy, to help each participant recharge with positive energy - to me, that is the greatest reward."

This activity clearly demonstrates the 3 messages of the Excellent School - Super effective learning. Cycling to empathize, connect, share; encourage perseverance, endurance; together I train will and determination. Not a race of time or speed, "Bicycle Companion" wants to convey a positive message: We are companions, united, together towards the goal of creating a change in community awareness in reducing waste, fighting environmental pollution, building a green capital, a green world. The prize of the competition - a bicycle from the Embassy of Denmark - the land that honors sustainable values, the green color of nature, the country with the highest green index, happiness index in the world.
