Head of the Party Central Committee's Commission for Mass Mobilisation Truong Thi Mai asked the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union Central Committee to promote the pioneering role of youths in remote, border and island areas.

The campaign will last for three months and will be carried out in 64 poor districts, including coastal and island regions across the nation.

Young people will help in the construction of 300 charity houses, to build and upgrade roads, as well as helping to provide health check-ups and medicine for over 500,000 residents in disadvantaged areas and grant 70 saving books to ex-youth volunteers.

At the launch of the ceremony, young volunteers went to ethnic people in Cu M’gar, Krong Buk, Buon Don districts, Buon Ho town, and Buon Ma Thuot city, to build infrastructure and present gifts to poor children in the far-flung areas of Dak Lak.
