More than 1,000 exciting projects and works of Nghe An youth to celebrate the founding day of the Union (March 26)
(Baonghean.vn) - In the first 3 weeks of Youth Month 2024, the Youth Union chapters at all levels in the province have carried out 1,080 meaningful projects and tasks. This has contributed to affirming the role and responsibility of Nghe An youth towards the community and society.
MEANINGFUL START
Youth Month 2024 has become a milestone for Nghe An youth, when this year, the Central Youth Union chose Nghe An as a meaningful "starting point" to simultaneously deploy a series of activities.
Welcoming this event, from early morning, at Truong Bon National Historical Site (Do Luong), more than 3,000 young people from districts and towns of the province enthusiastically participated.
At the Launching Ceremony, National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue handed over the torch symbolizing the will, aspiration, dedication and volunteerism of Vietnamese youth to First Secretary of the Central Youth Union Bui Quang Huy. This torch was carried by 55 outstanding young people of Nghe An province from Nam Dan district - Uncle Ho's hometown - to Truong Bon - the historical symbol of Vietnam's Youth Volunteers.
Receiving that sacred torch, First Secretary of the Central Youth Union Bui Quang Huy affirmed: “Choosing the theme for community life, Youth Month 2024 is the determination, sense of responsibility, readiness to accept difficult tasks, requiring sacrifice of time, material, and effort of union members and youth nationwide. Thereby, contributing to creating new values, making positive and specific contributions to the community and society.
The significance of Youth Month does not stop at the results of implementing hundreds of thousands of youth projects and tasks. More than that, Youth Month has become a good and effective method in directing the work of the Youth Union, a form of calling on members of many groups to participate in important tasks of localities and units; a focus of work to solve many difficult problems, new fields, in difficult areas, remote areas...
From that goal, to contribute to supporting Nghe An Provincial Youth Union in implementing social security activities, building livelihood models for people to develop the economy and implementing youth projects, at the program, the Central Youth Union has awarded support resources with a total value of more than 6 billion VND. This is an important premise for Nghe An youth to join hands with the Party Committee and government to implement practical projects and tasks towards the difficult areas of the province.
Immediately after the launching ceremony, Nghe An youth also launched many meaningful activities, creating a vibrant competitive atmosphere among the youth.
Specifically, the Youth Union chapters at all levels in the province have implemented more than 100 projects and volunteer youth work to build new rural areas. At the same time, they presented 172 maps of the Fatherland, 2 charity houses, more than 1,000 gifts to people in difficult circumstances and organized free health check-ups for more than 3,000 people.
In particular, through the voluntary blood donation activities implemented, 1,200 units of blood were collected to serve the treatment and emergency care of patients in the coming time. The total resources on the first day of the launching ceremony are estimated to be worth more than 2 billion VND.
From this meaningful start, Youth Month 2024 continues to attract a large number of union members and young people to participate with much creativity and effectiveness.
TURN DETERMINATION INTO ACTION
In recent days, people in Xoong Con village, Luu Kien commune, Tuong Duong district have been happy that the inter-village road that was once muddy due to floods has now been concreted and made spacious. Entering Youth Month, the above project is even more meaningful as it was jointly implemented by local youth.
Mr. Le Van Hoan - Secretary of the Youth Union of Luu Kien commune said that Xoong Con village is quite far from the commune center, with rugged mountainous terrain, so transporting materials to build inter-village roads is difficult. In that situation, the Youth Union mobilized more than 200 members, youth and local people to go down to the stream to pick up rocks and gravel to bring back. In addition to the cement provided by the State, local youth continued to carry out car washing activities to raise funds and mobilize socialized resources to buy more sand, gravel, and necessary raw materials.
Thanks to that effort, local youth completed nearly 2 km of concrete road connecting villages. After completion, people were very excited because they could move quickly and safely.
The implementation of youth projects continues to spread widely in the remote area of Tuong Duong. A typical example is the district-level youth project to build a community playground in Na Khom village, Yen Na commune with full facilities to serve the entertainment needs of children.
In Nga My commune, the District Youth Union Standing Committee coordinated with agencies and units to conduct medical examinations and provide medicine to more than 300 households in Canh and Xop Kho villages. At the same time, 20 gifts were presented to households in difficult circumstances and 20 gifts were presented to students with excellent academic achievements.
For the coastal district of Quynh Luu, activities during Youth Month were also carried out vigorously. Accordingly, the Quynh Luu District Youth Union awarded 3 economic development models with a total amount of 300 million VND.
The Youth Union of Quynh Luu District Agencies has also undertaken to support 15 students in difficult circumstances in the period of 2023-2027. At the same time, the youth of the Youth Union bases in Quynh Luu District joined hands to donate resources to build the "House of Love" project worth 50 million VND for people in difficult circumstances in the area.
Along with many other activities, the total resources received and donated during Youth Month is estimated to have reached over 500 million VND. These activities have left a good impression on the people and local authorities.
Looking back at the efforts of Nghe An youth during Youth Month, Secretary of the Provincial Youth Union Le Van Luong shared: “2024 is a year of special significance, when the whole country in general and Nghe An province in particular are accelerating the implementation of socio-economic development tasks, striving to achieve and exceed the goals and targets of the term.
This year also marks many special and meaningful events in the youth volunteer movement such as: 60th anniversary of the "Three Readies" movement, 10th anniversary of the "Year of Youth Volunteers" and 25th anniversary of the "Summer Youth Volunteer Campaign".
In the past 2/3 of the Youth Month, Nghe An youth have unanimously implemented many youth projects and tasks with wide spread and meeting the practical needs of each locality and unit.
Through these activities, the pioneering and volunteering role of union members and young people in community life and for social security has been affirmed, leaving a good impression of youth in the hearts of Party committees, authorities and people.
