This journey has now come to an end as I cycled my way into Hanoi today...In the end we gave out 470 pieces of equipment throughout the hills of Laos, leaving behind a trail of smiles after 1220 km cycled..This tour would not have been possible if it wasn't for the people who believed in the mission....so I must say thank you for your contributions, support and an experience I will never forget...It's amazing to take the time and give back, especially when you able to share your passion with others. The people we met through our travels felt our energy, but they also gave us much inspiration to move forward...The energy and enthusiasm from everyone kept us hauling and those hills conquered become an after thought....This is a small charity, but my goal is for people to feel connected and see the joy that comes along with a simple gift...It is amazing how sport and play can unite people together and bring happiness and Cyril and I gave it our heart to ensure that message was delivered.... 今天我骑到河内了,这次旅行告一段落。我们总共在老挝的山区送出了470件礼物,在走过的1220公里的路上留下了欢声笑语。如果没有那些信任我们的朋友,这次旅行不可能成行,所以我必须要感谢你们的奉献、支持,这些令我终身难忘,能这样的做事感觉非常奇妙,尤其是在你能和他人分享你的激情时。我们沿途碰到的人们感受到了我们的正能量,但同时他们也给了我们很多正能量,这激励着我们继续前行。每一个人身上的正能量和热情激励着我们征服了那些高山。这只是个小小的慈善活动,我的目的就是让人们感受到被关爱,并且见证到一个小小的礼物所能带来的愉悦。体育活动能把不同的人们联系在一起并带来欢乐,Cyril和我尽心尽力把这个信息传递了出去。 Riding a bicycle you become aware of your surroundings and the way people truly live their lives...I gained a huge amount of respect for the people and how they cope with their environment...However, the people don't see their environment as a struggle which was evident from all the positive interactions we experienced throughout our travels..but were grateful for the gifts provided and I am glad we could provide a little help... 自行车旅行能让你更好的感受你周围的环境和那里的人们的生活方式,当我了解到当地的人们是怎样与自然和谐共处时,我不由的肃然起敬,而且这里的人们没有把他们的环境当做是穷山恶水,对于我们带来的礼物他们表现的很感激,我很高兴能给他们尽一点点微薄之力。 This charity has now successfully completed three tours and I must say thank you to our friends, family, Sino-Canada students and staff, South Meridian Elementary, Diamond head Elementary, CIJS and our sponsors Mac Bros, Guardian International, Decathlon and Cocos Pure for believing in our mission...Also, I need to give a shout out to my teammate Cyril Indome who was the perfect choice to be out here..The kids were so fortunate to feel his passion for sport and his love for working with kids. My hope is we can continue this positive momentum for future tours and add more haulers to visit schools and impoverished areas of the world... 这个慈善活动已经成功的完成了三段旅行,我得感谢朋友们、家人、中加枫华中学的师生、South Meridian小学、Diamond head小学、迪卡龙、Guardian International公司和Cocos Pure公司,感谢你们信任这一理念。我还得隆重感谢我这一路的伙伴Cyril Indome先生,他能到这里来是个最佳人选。这里的孩子们幸运地感受到他对运动的激情和为孩子工作的热爱。我希望我们将来能继续进行,去拜访更多的学校和其他贫困地区。 Our work is done for now, but I am so grateful for everyone who made this tour a success. Thank you to the wonderful people of Laos for letting us in and making us feel welcomed. Also, a big shout out to Noy and Kydeux for getting the equipment shipped and making this project a reality! I hope everyone enjoyed our mission and as I sign off here I write with a heavy heart for the people who supported us and lead us along the right path...I hope this story brought you joy and happiness which provided many with the gift of sport and privilege to play....
这次的工作就要结束了,我得感谢每一个的帮助我们的人,是你们让这次旅行成功进行。感谢老挝的人们,是你们愿意开门欢迎我们进来。着重感谢帮助运输装备的Noy和Kydeux!我希望每个人都享受我们的旅程,这次虽然要结束了,但是我真心感谢支持我们,带领我们走向正确的方向的人们。希望这个故事在给孩子们带来运动和游戏的快乐和幸福的同时能给你们也带来快乐和幸福! Until next time....going dancing tonight! 再见!今晚要跳舞去了! Much love, Paul

Hello Mr. Hayes, here is Johnson. Liu, I'm sorry that I reply your blog so late. How is Vietnam's air quality? China's air quality some days were still like days before holiday, but could be better than before. And I think holiday's dailies were losing the motivation to do the sports as much as during your class, but I still play some sports like basketball. I hope your charity will bring more hopes and fun to more poor towns.

Your big heart will impress and change the world! It's amazing that you helped so much people while we were doing nothing or something insignificant, what a pity that I did not do anything that could help! Look forward to your next trip!

Mr.Hayes, Happy New Year! The travel is quite interesting. Whenever you meet obstacles ,someone will lend a hand, and you distribute some gifts to the poor. I can see that those kids is smiling to you. This trip contributes love and energy to the kids that I should learn.
