Two foreign travelers currently in Vietnam are planning to tour around the country by using bicycles and wearing only their pyjamas. Their aim is to raise money for Cambodian orphans.

Tom Edwards, a former reporter for Guernsey Press and Vale-based Helen Bonnel came up with this idea after teaching the English language for two weeks at an orphanage somewhere in Siem Reap in Cambodia.

The couple is no longer new with this stunt. In the past, they have travelled in more than 1,500 kilometers in heavy traffic and even under heavy rains and massive heat as they go through the country with people barely speaking the English language.

Bonnel said that they were inspired by the orphans who are full of optimism and life despite the suffering they have to endure for the past years of having no parents to look up to. They said that they want to help the kids get proper clothing by coming up with this challenging task.
