(Baonghean.vn) - As part of a series of activities in Kim Lien commune (Nam Dan) - the first destination in the program "Green Journey - upstream of Lam River", on July 5, the Vietnam Green Journey social activity organization had a collective labor session to collect duckweed on canal 79.

On this occasion, the volunteer group decided to organize a water hyacinth collection to clear the flow. Photo: Huy Thu |

| More than 40 volunteers, students from many provinces and cities across the country, including 11th and 12th graders, participated in the water fern collection. Because the canal is large and the water is deep, most of the boys had to push the water fern down the canal, while the girls were on the bank carrying the water fern. Photo: Huy Thu |

| After bringing the duckweed to shore, some raked, others pushed, competing to bring the duckweed to shore. Tran Quang Anh (16 years old) from Nam Dinh City - the youngest volunteer in the group, shared: "Working like this is tiring but fun. The program has given me new experiences and understanding in the Central region." Photo: Huy Thu |

| Scooping water hyacinth in deep, dirty, thorny canals is quite a tough job. In just one session, the team scooped up hundreds of meters of canal with dozens of tons of water hyacinth, contributing to clearing the flow and ensuring irrigation for the locality. Photo: Huy Thu |

| When the work was finished, the young people gathered right on the canal bank to take roll call and chant the program's slogan: "We want to unite the community, share the pain, help the poor, protect the environment, connect hearts. Because we are the Green Journey." Photo: Huy Thu |
