The bustling sounds of the village

Just arriving at Chau Cuong commune - Quy Hop, after arranging accommodation, the whole Vinh University SVTN team hurriedly prepared to deploy the plan.

SVTN are exchanging cultural activities with young people and local people.

In the evening, people flocked to the entire yard of the Commune People's Committee. When the chorus of "Green Summer" resounded, the debut of 24 volunteer students from Vinh University brought a bustling and joyful atmosphere to the land of Muong Ham - the cradle of the legend of "giving birth to the land, giving birth to the Muong". From the old to the young, boys and girls to the teenagers gathered with the SVTN team to dance, sing, and have fun until past midnight, and the last performance was always the Lam Vong dance around the jar of wine that captivated people's hearts. Many volunteers in the team participated in the Green Summer campaign for the first time, set foot on the land of the Northwest of Nghe An for the first time, and enjoyed the unique culture of the Thai people. They were surprised and deeply impressed by this moonlit night in the mountainous region imbued with wine.

The next morning, the whole team woke up early after a nap. At 6:30, deputy team leader Vi Thi Hong deployed the team to the inter-village roads to clean the environment. The sound of bamboo brooms and the cheerful singing of students on all the roads awakened the self-awareness of the people, especially the youth of the village. Just a few minutes later, most of the local youth union members were present with the volunteer team to clean the roads. Every day, the volunteers deployed work in a different village and in the evening, they gathered at the Cultural House of each village to organize entertainment exchanges and propagate the policies of the Party and State to the people.

According to the plan, the Vinh University Volunteer Team in Chau Cuong Commune will operate in 11 villages within 23 days. The main contents of the team's summer volunteering trip are: propaganda and education, quick reporting on the 10th National Party Congress, propaganda against social evils, traffic safety laws, traditional fire-reigniting on the occasion of July 27, participating in environmental sanitation activities, building roads, irrigation works, learning about the structure of local plant and animal varieties to advise and help people produce more effectively, organizing summer classes for children, opening training classes for the Youth Union and the Young Pioneers, and organizing cultural and sports exchanges with youth and local people...

Coming from different hometowns such as: Nghe An, Thanh Hoa, Ha Tinh, Hai Duong, Hung Yen, Ninh Binh, even when studying together under the same roof of Vinh University, but in many different faculties such as: Education - National Defense, History, Politics, Information Technology, Agricultural Extension, Biology, Chemistry, Kindergarten and Literature, before coming to Chau Cuong, most of the team members did not know each other. However, after only one day in this land of Muong Ham, the whole team became as close as flesh and blood. Team member Nguyen Thi Hien confided: "My family lives in Vinh City, and from a young age I have almost never had to do hard work. This is the first time I have participated in a volunteer trip. Although it was hard, it was very fun. Especially, the trip has shown me many meanings and values ​​of life. Through this volunteer activity, in addition to helping people in difficult areas, we also have the opportunity to expand our knowledge, learn many things and have a deeper look at life."
