Aiming to mark the International Volunteer Day (December 5), the festival’s theme focused on combating COVID-19 this year.
During the event, young volunteers helped clean and disinfect condo buildings and residential areas, raised public awareness of the “5K” message and planted new trees.
A number of volunteer associations, clubs and groups were honoured by the Vietnam Youth Federation in Ho Chi Minh City in recognition for their outstanding work in blood donation, COVID-19 fight and other charitable activities.
It also included the launch of the city’s second quick response team sent to support the COVID-19 fight in Soc Trang, a photo exhibition on volunteer work, a blood donation event, a space for introducing volunteer ideas and projects and a playground called “I am a Volunteer” featuring game booths and music performances by attendees.
