Let children experience knowing the forest. Go slowly on the road leading to Melaleuca lake through Phuoc Buu conservation area. It's cool and you can stop at any time. One day, you'll meet a group of 6 monkeys.

Every trip to the forest leaves me with new and pure experiences and memories. This time I went to plant a forest with my colleagues and Joy Foundation. Walking under the trees, holding a pickaxe and shovel to dig the ground and bring trees back to mother earth, feels like I am sending love back to mother nature. Looking at the forest with the flycam's aerial view, I feel the vastness and greenness. Thank you nature. Vietnam's nature is very beautiful.
