(HBO) – The 2019 spring voluntary campaign was recently launched in Long Son commune, Luong Son district by the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union and the youth federation in Luong Son district in coordination with their counterparts in Hanoi’s Dong Anh district, bringing a warm Tet to the disadvantaged people in the commune.

Themed "I love my country”, the campaign focused on mobilising social resources to present gifts to children, young workers and families with difficult circumstances, repair houses for families under preferential treatment policies, provide medical check-ups and medicine for local residents, and give other support to the needy as the Lunar New Year Festival (Tet) nears.

 The programme helped promote the youth’s pioneering roles in ensuring social welfare, and provided a chance for youth activists to hone their skills in gathering members in social activities./.
