On August 4, 2008, the Steering Committee of the "Youth, Student, and University Student Volunteer" campaign for the summer of 2008 in Thach That district held a conference to summarize and report on the specific results of the campaign's activities.

After more than half a month of campaigning, with the efforts of over 600 students from Vietnam National University, Hanoi and 250 youth union members and officials from Thach That district, the volunteer campaign has achieved many positive results. Political and ideological education, as well as moral and lifestyle education for youth union members, students, and young people, have been intensified through numerous political activities, cultural exchanges, and commemorations of the 61st anniversary of War Invalids and Martyrs Day with practical and meaningful actions. Movements to disseminate knowledge on production, healthcare for the people, opening classes, and promoting culture have also taken place very actively and widely.

The campaign organized a training course on Ho Chi Minh's ideology and professional skills training for over 200 Youth Union officials; successfully coordinated the "Strength of a Thousand Years" playground along with many gratitude and remembrance activities throughout the district.

During the summer volunteer campaign in Ha Tay, more than 150 students from the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, representing 5 teams from the faculties of Philosophy, International Studies, Archival Studies and Office Administration, Management Science, and Linguistics, actively and enthusiastically participated effectively and received a Certificate of Commendation from the People's Committee of Thach That District.
