"The environment is a global issue that we all need to care about. With the Clean Water project that I brought to the Miss International 2024 beauty pageant, I hope to contribute to environmental protection through specific actions, bringing clean water to underserved areas in Việt Nam,” Thủy said.

“I believe that with the smallest actions, we can together create significant changes."

Miss International 2024 continued her journey by participating in a discussion with international beauty representatives from the Miss Supranational, Miss Charm and Miss Cosmo contests. There, she shared interesting insights, helping to spread positive energy and connect cultures.

Earlier, after the grand finale of the Puteri Indonesia 2025 competition, Thủy faced health issues due to her busy schedule in Indonesia, however following timely care from local doctors, she continued her lobbying, spreading meaningful green messages during her four day visit.
