1,500 pupils walk to raise funds for needy peers
A total of 1,500 members and teachers in charge of Ho Chi Minh Young Pioneers’ Organisation (HYPO), and teenagers, across Da Nang, joined a charity walk on Sunday to raise funds for poor studious children.
The event was part of the ‘Vietnamese Youth - Cultivating virtues, leading the future’ Festival 2023 for junior high school pupils which was organised at the city’s March 29 Square on Sunday by the Central Council of HYPO and the municipal Youth Union.
Each participating walker donated VND40,000 to the fund in support for disadvantaged children. With the amount of VND60 million from the response of young participants, the organisers gave 60 scholarships to disadvantaged children in the city.
On the occasion, two career counseling sessions were provided for 400 pupils in Cam Le District, aiming to help them initially have suitable career orientations for their future.
