Unknown beauties

They are ordinary people with 'clean' souls. They came not only to watch the spectacular performances during the rehearsals, group rehearsals, and dress rehearsals of the A80 ceremony. They also came to pick up the trash that some inconsiderate people had left behind along the streets where the parade and procession passed.

They are young men and women, full of enthusiasm, who volunteered to be "servants" throughout the ceremony. They also picked up trash, distributed free water, bread, and milk to the people, and were ready to provide assistance in case of need.

Spontaneous acts of kindness after the parade.

The "spoils of war" for the 14-year-old "janitor" after a concert near My Dinh Stadium.

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

Many people are participating in keeping the streets clean and beautiful.

They are sanitation workers who work day and night. Their workload is several times greater than usual, arduous, yet sometimes they don't receive a word of thanks.

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

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