This time, Nghia Dan District Youth Union mobilized about 40 youth union members to harvest rice to help the family of Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu in hamlet 7B, Nghia Mai commune, a poor family.
Ms. Thu shared: “My family is short of people, so planting and harvesting is difficult, now we only rely on 5 sao of rice fields. With the help of young people harvesting rice, my family is very happy.”

In addition, the Youth Union also coordinated with local organizations to review the area ready for harvest, mobilize and arrange appropriate forces to help households harvest the 2018 spring crop. With a positive spirit, urgent and enthusiastic atmosphere, in just one first day of work, 5 sao of rice were quickly harvested.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoai An - Secretary of the Youth Union of Nghia Mai commune said: "Harvesting rice to help families in difficult circumstances is just a small task among many activities that the commune's youth union members have organized this summer. These practical actions will be replicated in the area. From now until the end of the season, the commune's youth union members will continue to help 20 single and disadvantaged households harvest rice."

To implement the plan in the coming time, the Standing Committee of Nghia Dan District Youth Union also directed each youth union in 25 communes and towns to help at least one household harvest rice.
This is one of many volunteer activities demonstrating the pioneering role of young people joining hands for community life, while also creating conditions to help people prepare early for summer-autumn crop production.
