March Volunteer Imprint

Volunteer for the community

On Sunday, the beach of Tri Nguyen Island (Vinh Nguyen Ward, Nha Trang City) is busier than usual. From early morning, young people of Nha Trang City have been present on the island to prepare for a meaningful weekend here: Collecting trash to clean up the marine environment. "We are divided into groups, each person in an area to make sure no trash is left behind" - with nimble hands picking up each piece of plastic waste into a bag, Ngo Thi My Le reminded everyone around. During the working week, Le's weekend should have been a time to rest and meet friends. However, My Le responded to the call of Vinh Nguyen Ward Youth Union, joining everyone in implementing Green Sunday.

In addition to cleaning activities, the Youth Union members also directly propagated to local people and tourists about the harmful effects of plastic waste on the marine ecosystem, calling on everyone to join hands to protect the environment with practical actions such as using cloth bags instead of plastic bags, and bringing personal water bottles instead of disposable plastic bottles.

Nearby, seeing the young people working diligently, Ms. Nguyen Thi Anh Nguyet - an island resident also joined in. "Seeing the children's spirit of protecting the environment, I also want to contribute, also to protect the environment where I live", Ms. Nguyet said. When the sunlight began to be harsh, the trash on the beach was gradually collected into large plastic bags, gathered together to wait to be brought to shore for processing.

Leaving Vinh Nguyen, we followed the young people of Khanh Hoa University and Nha Trang City Youth Union to Vinh Truong ward. The car carrying a banner with the words "Digital Education for All" stopped at the ward's Cultural House, the Youth Union members quickly prepared smartphones, computers, and instruction materials to "distribute digital knowledge" to the people here.

Holding a smartphone, Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan - a trader at Vinh Truong market, followed the instructions of young people to check residence information and integrate social insurance into the VNeID app. Besides, Mr. Nguyen Minh Hanh carefully remembered the instructions on how to access the online public service website, how to use it when needed... "With the guidance of the Youth Union members, I learned that many administrative procedures can now be done online at home. I and the people were also informed about online scams to be more vigilant and avoid losing money," said Mr. Hanh.
