The 'unknown' beauties

They are ordinary people with 'clean' souls. They come not only to watch the beautiful performances in the preliminary, joint and final rehearsals of the A80 grand ceremony. They also come to pick up trash that some inconsiderate people have left along the streets where the parades and marches pass by.

They are young men and women with enthusiastic hearts who volunteered to be "servants" throughout the ceremony. They also picked up trash, gave out free water, cakes, and milk to the people and were ready to help in case of need.

Spontaneous acts of kindness after the parade

Someone has prepared a very large bag to collect the trash.

Many people responded to keep the streets clean.

They are sanitation workers who work day and night. Their workload is several times more than usual, hard work but sometimes they do not receive a word of thanks.

A cleaning lady diligently sweeps the trash as the crowd of spectators leave on the night of August 27, 2025.

Their actions were simple and ordinary, but they contributed a small part to the success of the A80 ceremony. A beauty behind the scenes, quiet and without registration.

Young people in the youth volunteer group participated in picking up trash until late at night.
