A lot of fun and challenge are waiting for both locals and expats in Saigon Cyclo Challenge 2012 held at The Crescent, District 7, Ho Chi Minh City on March 10th, 2012.

Cyclo Challenge promises to give participants unique experience, as well as to encourage their team-building spirit. Besides having fun, joining this healthy competition, tourists have chance to support Vietnamese needy children by making a donation to the fund of the organizer Saigon Children’s Charity (SCC).

As usual, this year’s event is looking for participants and sponsors. According to SCC, more than 90% of Gold sponsors’ packages go straight to child support programs at SCC. Details for sponsors’ benefits, Saigon Cyclo Challenge 2012 and other charity programs can be found on SCC’s official website.

The annual Saigon Cyclo Challenge has been held for 10 years by Saigon Children’s Charity, an NGO established in 1992 with the goal to provide education to disadvantaged and poor children in Vietnam’s Southern region, including HCMC.

Cyclo, a vehicle which used to be very popular in major cities of Vietnam in the early 20th century, is now one of the most favored transport mean of many tourists visiting Vietnam. A sight-seeing tour around the city by cyclo gives people relaxing moments and reminds them of a peaceful and low-paced life in the past.
