Nghe An Youth Union has supported lunch breaks and given away more than 1,500 free meals and thousands of cups of cool water to candidates and their families after the first exam of the 2024 Grade 10 Entrance Exam.

Entering the exam support program, the Youth Union branches focused on cooking free meals to support candidates and their families in difficult circumstances, living far from the exam location. From early morning, volunteers went to the market, meticulously taking care of the selection of ingredients, cooking, and packaging with the mindset of ensuring two criteria: nutrition and food hygiene and safety.
