In early August, 80 leaders and officials of the Youth Union organisation of Hai Chau District competed in the "Youth Leader" contest. The purpose of the contest was to seek outstanding youth leaders, towards standardising the Youth Union staff in units and schools.

In addition to the youth skills such as proficiency in sending and receiving Morse and Semaphore signals, tying ropes, marking roads, translating secret letters, and building camps, there were flash mob performances, group singing and dancing, physical games, and teambuilding games.

The content of the contest aimed to comprehensively develop youth skills from understanding history and culture to mastering youth activities and creating a fun, age-appropriate living environment.

Also at the same time, the Youth Union organisation of Hai Chau District coordinated with the district-based Culture - Sports Centre to organise a folk dance and flashmob contest entitled "Colourful Dance" with the participation of 13 teams.

Deputy Secretary of the district-level Youth Union organisation Le Vien Thanh affirmed that the annual contest created a useful playground for Youth Union members and young people in the district in summer.

Meanwhile, the Youth Union organisation of Lien Chieu District supported the construction of a new house for the family of Mrs. Pham Linh Phi residing in Hoa Minh Ward. Her family is a poor household, and she is seriously ill. Mrs. Phi's husband takes care of all the burdens of life alone.

With the financial aid of VND50 million funded by the Youth Union organisation and the Business Association of the district, the family of Mrs. Phi started building a house in early June.

Secretary of the district’s Youth Union organisation Huynh Thanh Binh said that the unit has always paid attention to social welfare work, thereby, demonstrating the role and responsibility of Youth Union members and young people in showing gratitude to social policy beneficiaries and families with meritorious services; at the same time, arousing patriotism, national pride and responsibility among young people in the current period.
