HCM CITY — Numerous volunteer activities and programmes of the HCM City 2024 summer volunteer campaign have been highly successful, benefiting the community.

A ceremony was held to honor the contributions of youth volunteers in the summer campaign this year from June 2 to August 4.

Secretary of the Hồ Chí Minh Communist Youth Union (HCYU) of HCM City Ngô Minh Hải said the city’s youth have been experiencing a vibrant summer, filled with volunteer activities.

The 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification is an opportunity for the city's youth to continue their volunteer journey and contribute to the city’s development.

The young volunteers were warmly welcomed and deeply appreciated by the local communities thanks to their meaningful projects, he said.

“Volunteer work is the most effective educational approach employed by HCYU for young people to develop and mature,” he said.

This has continued the tradition of youth volunteerism, building upon the achievements of previous generations.

Nguyễn Hồ Hải, standing deputy secretary of the municipal Party Committee, praised young volunteers in the city for their enthusiasm, creativity, and dedication.

“They play a significant role in contributing to the city's development to become more civilised, modern and loving, and improving the quality of life for its citizens,” he said.

He emphasised the importance of youth involvement in digital transformation initiatives and encouraged them to continue their volunteer work, especially in addressing the city's pressing challenges and contributing more to the city’s socio-economic growth and the national development in general.

He called on the city’s youth to leverage technology and social media to mobilise more people to participate in volunteer activities.

This year's campaign attracted the participation of more than 611,000 people, along with the involvement of 48 Malaysian volunteers and more than 80 from other countries such as Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and the US who are studying in the city.

The sites of the activities and programmes are mostly remote and border areas of 16 provinces in Tây Nguyên (Central Highlands), the southcentral coastal, southeaster, and Cửu Long (Mekong) Delta regions. There are also programmes taking place in Laos.

The volunteers helped create 714 clean streets and alleys, meeting the standards of a "green - clean - beautiful - civilised - safe" area.

They built and repaired 61 houses in the city and other provinces; renovated and upgraded 93 community spaces and activity centres; and planted 139,960 trees.

They also carried out over 2,800 practical ideas and initiatives; provided digital skills training to more than 9,460 young people; conducted career guidance for more than 52,000 young people; introduced job opportunities to more than 10,950 young people; cared for 132,850 people, including children; and admitted 10,510 new youth union members and 667 elite youth union members to the Party.

The city's HCYU rewarded outstanding collectives and individuals for their contributions to organising the campaign this year. — VNS
