More than just a charitable activity, "UP 2025" has become a journey carrying the aspiration to sow the seeds of knowledge, love, and hope in disadvantaged areas.
Sharing knowledge – Connecting with love
On April 26th, with the donation of 3000 books (including 4000 physical books), lecturers and students from the Faculty of Information and Library Science together created a fresh and inspiring learning space for the students of Nam Phong High School – a place where young dreams are nurtured every day.
Faculty members from the Department of Information and Communication Technology, University of Social Sciences and Humanities, donated books to Nam Phong Primary and Secondary School.
During the solemn moment of the award ceremony, Associate Professor Dr. Do Van Hung, Party Committee member and Head of the Department of Information and Library Science, emotionally shared: "We hope these books will become companions, empowering the students to reach the vast horizons of knowledge. The Department of Information and Library Science is committed to always standing by and accompanying the students on their journey of discovering and conquering knowledge."
In response to this gesture, Ms. Tran Thi Thanh Hien, Principal of Nam Phong Primary and Secondary School, emotionally expressed: "The valuable care and support from the teachers and students of the Faculty of Information and Library Science is a great source of encouragement for us teachers and students. We promise to cherish and maximize the value of these gifts of knowledge to help our students realize their dreams."
Faculty and students of the Library and Information Science Department took a commemorative photo with local leaders and teachers from Nam Phong Primary and Secondary School.
Beyond just books, the volunteer group also organized lively interactive games. The innocent smiles and bright eyes of the students added vitality to the warm, humane atmosphere. The vibrant campfire night, along with simple musical performances, illuminated the entire Nam Phong schoolyard, connecting souls from different regions with an invisible yet strong bond of love.

Spreading Love – Discovering Heritage
On the morning of April 27th, the delegation continued its visit and presented meaningful gifts to students from disadvantaged backgrounds – small gifts but carrying a loving message: "Keep moving forward on your educational path, because knowledge will open the way to the future."
Faculty and students from the Faculty of Information and Communication Technology, along with teachers from Nam Phong Primary and Secondary School, presented gifts to students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
On the same day, the volunteer group had a field trip to the Vietnamese Scientists' Heritage Park. There, students from the Faculty of Information and Library Science learned about the inventory, preservation, and archiving of valuable artifacts and documents, and gained insight into the profound contributions of famous Vietnamese scientists. This allowed them to better understand the sacred mission of the field in preserving the scientific and cultural memory of the nation.

Every page of the book given, every radiant glance from the students, every story of heritage listened to… all have contributed to a beautiful, emotional symphony of knowledge, humanity, and aspirations for greater heights.
As the "UP TO 2025" project came to an end, sweet memories lingered in the hearts of every participant. We saw the sparkling light in the children's eyes – the light of dreams just kindled from the pages of new books.
More than just a volunteer campaign, "UP 2025" is a journey of compassion and boundless sharing, where every book, every smile, every handshake carries the message of "Knowledge and Hope" to disadvantaged areas across the country.
Here are some photos from the charity trip:
