CPI Supporter Bikes Across Vietnam

van lai.jpgClear Path International supporter, Van Lai will be cycling from Saigon to Hanoi with an organization called Symbiosis Expeditions, to raise awareness and money for Clear Path International.

Her trip will take her through the villages and outskirts of Vietnam, and will include a visit to Clear Path�s facilities, totaling 1,700 kilometers in 20 days.

This trip is dedicated to her mother and father, and her late uncle, Le Thuc Anh who was killed by a land mine during the Vietnam war.

Van Lai was born in Saigon and left the country with her family at the end of the Vietnam War in 1975. She was 2 years old at the time. This will be her first trip back, and she wants to use this trip as an opportunity to help people in Vietnam still suffering from the effects of the war.

Van earned a degree in Psychology from the University of Santa Barbara in 1995 and her MBA from Pepperdine University in 2000. She currently lives in Los Angeles CA and is a business consultant for small businesses and entrepreneurs.
