Dream Trip 2 for disadvantaged children affected by Covid-19

On the 19^th and 20^th of July, Vietnam Airlines in partnership with SpaceSpeakers Group, Meliá Hotels International, Meliá Ho Tram Beach Resort, and Heartbeat Vietnam Social Enterprise Co., Ltd. organized the Dream Trip – Experience Journey for disadvantaged children affected by Covid-19 in Ho Chi Minh City. This activity is implemented in collaboration with Ho Chi Minh City Youth Union and VinaCapital Foundation.

The Dream Trip campaign organized experiential workshops and fun activities for disadvantaged children affected by the Covid-19 pandemic in Meliá Ho Tram Beach Resort. With guidance from Vietnam Airlines staff, the children had the opportunity to immerse themselves in the music with the artists of SpaceSpeakers Group, join a painting workshop, visit an organic vegetable garden, and enjoy dishes straight from farm to table.  The activities aim to provide children with opportunities to enjoy the summer, supporting them psychologically and encouraging them to study hard and strive for a brighter future.

The Dream Trip program also prepared a Gala dinner with delicious food prepared by 5-star chefs at the resort, performances from the children, and interactive mini-games for all participants, creating precious memories that they will cherish for years to come.

Chương trình tiệc tối dành riêng cho các em đã được chuẩn bị chu đáo bởi các đầu bếp 5 sao tại resort, những tiết mục văn nghệ được các em nhỏ trình diễn cùng nhiều trò chơi kết nối dành cho tất cả các em nhằm tạo nên những kỷ niệm đáng nhớ mà các em sẽ lưu giữ cho tới khi trưởng thành.

Mr. Dang Anh Tuan, Executive Vice President of Vietnam Airlines shares: “The Second Dream Trip is a continuation of Vietnam Airlines’ “Flights of Love” campaign. We are very pleased to join hands with organizations and businesses to bring educational and memorable experiences for children with difficult circumstances. Thereby, Vietnam Airlines is proud to promote the mission of the national airline, contributing to the sustainable development of the community and spreading humane values.”

“SpaceSpeakers Group is honored to cooperate with partners to make the dream trip for children a reality. I hope the program will inspire the children to study better and achieve their dreams in the future”, said Mr. Jason Dang – Representative of SpaceSpeakers Group.

“We hope to create a space where these kids can just be children for a day and forget about their worries,” said Mr. Alvaro Berton, General Manager of Meliá Ho Tram Beach Resort. “It will be an action-packed day that we believe they’ll treasure for years to come.”

“Meliá Hotels International actively seeks opportunities to help the local community in all the destinations we serve,” said Mr. Ignacio Martin, Managing Director Asia Pacific of Meliá Hotels International. “Sustainability, in all its various forms, is a core driver behind what we do and we seek to eradicate inequality where we can.”
