Implementing the policy of ensuring social security and health care for people, especially in remote areas, from July 14 to 24, the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union and the Vietnam Youth Union of Da Nang City coordinated with the VHC and the ASSORV (Vietnam Orphanage Support Association in France) to implement a volunteer program for the community in Ben Giang commune - an area formerly in Ca Dy commune, Nam Giang (former Quang Nam province).

In addition, 1,000 gifts (each worth 300,000 VND) were given to the people, with a total value of the program of up to 1.7 billion VND.
Notably, the city's youth union has directly taken on many meaningful tasks such as logistical support, medical examination instructions, to supporting interpretation for people who do not use common languages... thereby demonstrating the spirit of volunteerism of the city's youth in the cause of caring for people in disadvantaged areas.
