A hiking event was recently held in the French city of Domats, with nearly 30 local residents taking part, in response to the “Children’s Walk For Hope 2023″ campaign initiated by the Christina Noble Children’s Foundation (CNCF), VNA reported.
CNCF Secretary General in France Eric Fiat said it is the third time such an event has been held in the country to introduce CNCF’s activities and raise funds for disadvantaged children in Vietnam who lack both material and spiritual support.
The proceeds from the event will be used to fund CNCF’s programs, especially in the field of education, in Vietnam and Mongolia.

After over 3 hours of walking through fields, lakes, forests, and villages, the participants gathered at the Domats community center where they listened to an introduction about the CNCF’s activities in Vietnam and Mongolia, contributed to the charity fund, and enjoyed a Vietnamese meal prepared by a local Vietnamese couple
Meanwhile, nearly 1,500 athletes on September 24 finished their runs in the Children’s Walk For Hope held simultaneously in Vietnam and Mongolia.
1,500 participants took part in the event from Vietnam, Mongolia, and globally. All have run towards the aim of aiding underprivileged children in transforming their future through quality education.
7,850 km is the total distance achieved by all online participants, with 367.22km reached by one of the athletes—surpassing the adult category’s 34km goal by 1080% and doubling the initial target distance set by CNCF at 4,119km.
