Realizing that at the beginning of the new school year, many students in the area still had to go to school with messy hair, the Long Thanh Commune Youth Union mobilized a number of professional barbers and young people who knew how to cut hair in the hamlets to organize free haircuts for the students.

The program was held at two locations of Long Thanh Primary School.

To ensure that the haircutting activity at school continues, outside of recess, the school also creates conditions for students to take turns getting their hair cut during class. Many students are happy and excited because they get their hair cut for free.

After one day, nearly 150 primary school students at 2 schools had their hair cut, ensuring neatness, cleanliness and beauty. On this occasion, the Commune Youth Union also presented 5 gifts to 5 poor students who have overcome difficulties.

The Long Thanh Youth Union's free haircut and gift giving program aims to help, share and encourage children in special circumstances. It is known that recently, the local youth union has had many meaningful and practical activities such as accepting disadvantaged students as foster children of the group, giving gifts to 20 families with preferential policies, calling for support for families with deceased relatives in Taiwan, etc.
