Also at the launching ceremony, the Da Nang Youth Union donated 2 library books totaling VND 50 million to Thanh Khe and Lien Chieu districts, handed over 2 outdoor playgrounds for children and teenagers worth VND 200 million to Hoa Vang and Lien Chieu districts. In addition, VND 200 million in funding went to repair 4 houses of youth union members in difficult circumstances, and 55,000 trees were donated to Hoa Vang District.

Besides, 4 youth volunteering squads made their debut. They will take the responsibility of supporting the city’s efforts in promoting digital transformation, providing effective treatment for COVID-19 patients with mild symptoms under home-based isolation and care, encouraging young people to start-up firms, and giving back to the community.

Especially, the Da Nang Youth Union entered into a cooperation agreement with Victoria English Centre to renovate and upgrade a library of bilingual books for the community and children located at the municipal Children's Palace.
