631 Vietnamese bread loaves ranked '25' set world record

The number "25" is made up of 631 loaves of bread, not only setting a Guinness World Record but also aiming to raise funds for disadvantaged youth with Vietnam's iconic dish.

The Guinness World Record for the largest "25" model made from 631 Vietnamese bread loaves was set this morning, October 25, in Ho Chi Minh City. The event attracted more than 1,000 attendees and raised funds to support disadvantaged youth through the Hope Foundation.

Setting a Guinness World Record requires high standards of measurement, construction, food safety and documentation. About 400 people participated in preparing the bread from filling, packaging to model making. After setting the record, the bread was distributed to attendees to enjoy on the spot to spread the meaning of sharing and volunteering.

Many chefs and volunteers prepare ingredients to make hundreds of loaves of bread.

Present at the event were Ms. Sarah Hooper - Australian Consul General in Ho Chi Minh City, RMIT University student community and many sponsors and partners. Representatives of Guinness World Records directly monitored, verified and announced the results on the spot.

Ms. Jodie Altan, Deputy General Director of External Relations of RMIT Vietnam shared: "Banh mi brings the story of Vietnam to the world with creativity, resilience and connection. This event shows cultural pride and affirms the mission of bringing world-class education to Vietnam in a connected and humane way."

Over the past time, KOTO and Hope Foundation have supported many disadvantaged children, especially ethnic minority youth in remote areas, to access vocational training in hotels and restaurants at KOTO Training Center.

Founded in 1999, KOTO is the first social enterprise in Vietnam. Over the past 25 years, the organization has helped change the future of more than 1,700 disadvantaged young people, with 100% of students finding jobs after graduation. When the new Dream School training facility comes into operation, KOTO aims to train 300 students/year completely free of charge.
