What environmental project will you create to promote the protection of Mother Earth and why?
I will initiate some small and practical projects such as anti drop litter campaign, saving energy campaign and prohibiting the uncontrolled use of harmful chemical etc. I will do appeal citizens and sponsors for supporting campaign of protecting mother earth. The focus of all environmental projects is every individual effort on a daily basic because I do believe that many a little makes a mickle.

What makes you proud of the country you are representing, and what can you promote about your country?
Firstly, I’m so proud of being Vietnamese, was born and grew up in Vietnam. I am not only proud of our over thousand year old culture, traditions, national solidarity but also I am so proud of Vietnam’s natural resources, and the charms of nature that are a special favor of Mother Earth grant to Vietnam. Hence, the Younger Vietnamese must take full responsibility for protecting ecosystem by developing and using the resources reasonably.

Vietnam is independent, peace and safe place where I have never seen terrorism or school shooting. Besides, Vietnamese people are polite, friendly, hospitable, good nature and always give a warm welcome to friends around the world visiting to Vietnam. I hope that I can bring the beauty of Vietnam to the world by introduce our unique culture, traditions and charm of nature. Visitors will have different feelings, emotions about culture, food taste, clothes and weather at each landscape they will travel through. For example, going to the North of Vietnam, along with Halong Bay, Sapa is the other major excursion from Hanoi; you can see a colorful town there thanks to the H’mong and Dzao people from the local hill tribes. Going along seacoast, you can explore and experience our beautiful sun, sand and beach such as Langco Beach, Nha trang Beach. Then, going to South of Vietnam, beauty is its own floating markets in Mekong Delta such as CaiRang floating market. This is what I feel most people would love if they took the opportunity to visit Vietnam. The homeland is always in my heart.
