Happy Tour – A Happy Journey 2026

From corporate visits and cultural experiences to career exploration, “Happy Tour – A Happy Journey 2026” brought 42 children facing difficult circumstances on a learning and discovery journey in Ho Chi Minh City. At each destination, they had more opportunities to explore the world around them, better understand their dreams and personal interests, and gradually envision their futures.

Inspiring experiences

Launched in 2023, “Happy Tour – A Happy Journey” is an annual activity under the “Happy Noodle Pack” project, implemented by Acecook Vietnam in cooperation with the Vietnam Children’s Fund. After four editions, the programme has accompanied more than 170 children from provinces and cities across the country. Continuing this journey, Happy Tour 2026 welcomed 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, discovery and exchange activities in Ho Chi Minh City.

For the first time, the children took part in engaging career exploration activities through the A Happy Journey 2026 programme.

With the theme “Experience – Inspire – Shape the Future”, the programme gave the children opportunities to access diverse learning, working and cultural environments; broaden their knowledge; explore their own abilities; and build confidence and motivation to gradually shape their future paths of learning and development.

Every experience – Another asset for the future

With the aim of helping the children learn through real-world experiences, “A Happy Journey 2026” was designed as a diverse exploration journey combining corporate visits, cultural discovery, city experiences and career-oriented activities. Each destination had its own significance, helping broaden the children’s knowledge, encourage active exploration and equip them with additional resources for the journey ahead.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Hien, Deputy Director of the Vietnam Children’s Fund, speaks at the programme.

At Acecook Vietnam, the children visited the office and factory and interacted with the company’s leadership and employees to learn about a professional working environment, modern production processes and the values built within a business. These hands-on experiences gave them additional perspectives on the world of work and their future choices.

The children enthusiastically participated in interactive activities during their visit to the Acecook Vietnam office.

They also explored the dynamic beauty of Ho Chi Minh City through prominent cultural, historical and tourist destinations, combined with a double-decker bus tour to experience the rhythm of a modern metropolis, thereby broadening their understanding of the country and everyday life.

In particular, at a career education model, the children directly experienced various professional fields, explored their abilities and interests, and gained a stronger basis for shaping suitable directions for their future learning and development.

Mr. Kaneda Hiroki, General Director of Acecook Vietnam Joint Stock Company, speaks at the programme.

Mr. Kaneda Hiroki, General Director of Acecook Vietnam, shared: “A Happy Journey is not simply a sightseeing trip; it is also a journey that connects people through love and care. We hope that after this journey, the children will gain greater motivation to study, stronger belief in themselves, and the courage to nurture their dreams and make constant efforts to turn those dreams into reality.

“We will continue to accompany social organisations in meaningful activities for children, so that more and more children can learn, gain experience and have greater opportunities to develop in the future. This is also how Acecook Vietnam fulfils its mission of bringing happiness to society.”

Representatives of Acecook Vietnam presented gifts and medals to the children participating in A Happy Journey 2026.

Continuing the Cook Happiness journey

For more than 30 years, Acecook Vietnam has remained committed to its mission, “Cook happiness – Contributing to society through the culinary path,” with a focus on three values: Happy Consumers, Happy Society and Happy Employees. The “Happy Noodle Pack” project, implemented by Acecook Vietnam in cooperation with the Vietnam Children’s Fund since 2019, is one of the company’s key community programmes, contributing to the goals of the National Action Programme for Vietnamese Children.

Over more than seven years, the project has supported increased food portions for more than 60,000 children, including daily meal assistance and emergency support for children affected by natural disasters and floods. It has donated 85,093 cartons of noodles, nearly 2,550 scholarships, learning supplies for nearly 2,200 children, and built three clean-water facilities serving nearly 4,650 children nationwide, with total funding of more than VND 18.5 billion.

Continuing these activities, “Happy Tour – A Happy Journey” was launched to expand the project’s support, from contributing to children’s nutrition to creating opportunities for them to learn, explore and develop comprehensively. Acecook Vietnam believes that every journey can open up new perspectives, strengthen confidence and motivate children to move forward steadily on their educational and personal development paths. This is also how the company gradually realises the value of Happy Society, spreading happiness throughout the community through practical and sustainable action.
