YU - The "Youth Volunteer Summer 2018" Campaign launched nationwide, aimed at providing assistance to people in need is a highly significant and practical activity. The campaign attracted a lot of interest among Youth Union members of the Quy Nhon University Youth Union in general as well as the inter-Departments of Finance-Banking & Business Administration in particular. The Youth Union members prided themselves on wearing the blue shirt symbolizing volunteering, carrying on their backs a backpack full of enthusiasm of the youth. From June 18, 2018 to June 23, 2018, 41 volunteers traveled to 2 villages of Nghia Nhon, An Nghia, Hoai An District, Binh Dinh Province to help the local to build so-called “new rural areas”.
With great enthusiasm, Quy Nhon University’s volunteer group, together with the support of the local authorities and An Nghia Commune’s Youth Union, the volunteers cooperated with the youth of Nghia Nhon Commune in helping the locals with some significant work such as digging 16 holes each 40 cm wide and 60cm deep, carrying and burying 16 concrete pillars; helping run electric wire and install bulbs to give light to about 2,000m of rural roads in a scheme for "lighting up rural roads" initiated by An Nghia Commune; helping run a 300-meter electric wire through a forest and the commune’s cemetery; helping the locals do their farm work and clear up a 1-km rural road.
In addition, the volunteer group also organized a sports and performing arts program with An Nghia Commune’s Youth Union members and the locals. Moreover, in response to the social charity movement, the volunteers offered 5 gift packs, each worth 200,000 VND to the welfare families, 10 gift packs, each worth 100,000 VND to poor but persevering students. Although the "Youth Volunteer Summer 2018" campaign initiated by the inter-Departments of Finance-Banking & Business Administration’s Youth Union lasted for only 5 days, it left unforgettable feelings and memories in the hearts of the volunteers and the locals, especially interesting experiences for Youth Union members.
