An overwhelming 300+ participants took part in our community #worldcleanupday event last week in partnership with ReThink Plastic Vietnam at International School Ho Chi Minh City. It was a great pleasure to host large groups from Starbucks and Electrolux who picked up plastic waste alongside our students and families.
