From the “Happy Journey” to a voyage of nurturing children’s dreams

Not only bringing new experiences, “Happy Tour” also opens up opportunities for disadvantaged children to explore the world and find the motivation to rise above their circumstances. This journey also demonstrates how Acecook Vietnam steadfastly realizes its commitment to accompanying children, ranging from essential support to creating further opportunities for learning, experiencing, and development.

When a journey opens up more than just experiences

“Happy Tour” is an activity under the “Happy Noodle” project organized by Acecook Vietnam in collaboration with the Vietnam National Fund for Children, dedicated to disadvantaged children from various provinces and cities across the country. Instead of stopping at short-term support, the program creates conditions for the children to directly experience, learn, and discover new things, thereby gathering more luggage for their journey to maturity.

Launched in 2023, Happy Tour has completed 4 seasons to date, accompanying more than 170 children from various provinces and cities nationwide.

If nutritional and educational support helps lay the foundation for children’s development, practical experiences can help them broaden their perspectives, discover their own abilities, and envision more choices for the future. Therefore, the value of the trip lies not only in the 5-day experiences in Ho Chi Minh City, but also in the confidence, new perspectives, and motivation that the children can take with them after the journey ends.

Luggage for the future

Continuing this journey, Happy Tour 2026 welcomes 42 children from Quang Ninh, Hue City, Quang Ngai, Ca Mau, Khanh Hoa, Lam Dong, and Nghe An to participate in a series of learning, exploration, and exchange activities in Ho Chi Minh City.
With the orientation “Experience – Inspiration – Future Orientation”, this year’s journey is designed so that the children not only sightsee but also directly interact with various learning, working, cultural, and career environments.

At Acecook Vietnam, the children have the opportunity to visit the office and factory, interact with the Board of Management and employees, learn about the professional working environment, modern production processes, as well as the values built within the enterprise.

The journey also takes the children to explore Ho Chi Minh City through prominent cultural, historical, and tourist destinations. Notably, through the career guidance education model, the children are challenged with various career fields, discovering their personal interests and capabilities, thereby forming a more concrete visualization of their future choices.

From these experiences, what lingers with the children is not just joy, but also an extra reason to strive. For Nguyen Thi Thao Vy, 15 years old, from Khanh Hoa, the visit to the Acecook factory became a new motivation: “After the trip, I have more motivation to try my best in studying, achieve high scores to have the opportunity to return here once again.”

Mr. Kaneda Hiroki, General Director of Acecook Vietnam, shared: “The Happy Tour is not merely a sightseeing trip, but also a journey connecting love.” According to him, what the enterprise expects is that the experiences from the program can imbue the children with self-belief, boldly nurture their dreams, and step-by-step turn those dreams into reality.

From essential support to creating development opportunities

Happy Tour is not an isolated activity, but a continuation of the long-term journey Acecook Vietnam has implemented over the past many years with the desire to contribute practical values to the community. Among them, the “Happy Noodle” is one of the key community programs implemented since 2019.

After more than 7 years, the project has contributed to increasing meal portions for over 60,000 turns of children, awarding more than 85,000 cartons of noodles, nearly 2,550 scholarships, supporting learning tools for nearly 2,200 children, and building 3 clean water facilities serving nearly 4,650 children nationwide, with a total funding of over VND 18.5 billion.

Mrs. Nguyen Thi Hien, Deputy Director of the Vietnam National Fund for Children, stated: “In addition to supporting nutritional products, Acecook Vietnam also helps children have the opportunity to study, develop, and creates motivation for them to overcome difficulties in life.”

From the first seasons of Happy Tour to the 2026 journey, Acecook Vietnam is gradually expanding the meaning of “happiness”: not only bringing joy in the present, but also contributing to creating more opportunities for children to confidently step toward the future. That is also how Acecook Vietnam fulfills its mission of “Cook happiness – Contributing to society through the path of cuisine,” aiming toward the three values of Happy Consumers, Happy Society, and Happy Employees.
