A group of 47 members from the Da Nang Youth Union (YU), including our reporter Thanh Tinh, carried out voluntary work in the Laotian provinces of Salavan and Champasak from 15 - 22 July.

During their one-week stay in Laos, the Da Nang volunteers provided free medical examinations and medicines to local residents, and presented gifts to poor families there.

Our reporter Thanh Tinh captured beautiful images of the Da Nang volunteers during their trips to the Laotian provinces.
