After a week of launching, despite the unfavorable weather and initial conditions, the Student Volunteer Team of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities still demonstrated its youthfulness and volunteer spirit.Due to some problems arising from the Youth Union of Tan Lap commune (Moc Chau - Son La), the original plan of the whole team had to change. Overcoming the initial difficulties, the whole team quickly made a new plan. On July 17, the whole team started with the main activities such as cleaning the village roads in Hoa I and Hoa II villages with more than 500m of sewers cleared, the roads and alleys here were cleaned and cleared. In the afternoon, after a day of mobilizing families, more than 100 primary school students and many people from the two villages attended the opening ceremony of the class and summer activities organized by the volunteer team of the school. Although it was raining and many villages in the distance could not attend, the cultural exchange night between the Student Volunteer Team of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities and the locality still took place with great excitement and warmth at the cultural houses of Hoa I and Hoa II villages. During the cultural exchange, the local delegation and the villagers here surprised the SVTN Team with unique and traditional performances of the Thai people. With songs, singing, and fun games, the artists of the Team also made the cultural night more attractive and captivating to everyone. On the 18th and 19th, due to the rain, outdoor activities had to be postponed, but the team's summer class still took place normally and the children still attended class in full numbers. In particular, the volunteers in the propaganda group did not mind the rain and wind, and the long distance to go to families in Doi and Nam Tom villages to promote reproductive health and the law to the people. In their free time, the volunteers actively supported the families with some farm work... These things have strengthened the affection of SVTN with the families and villagers. On July 20, the School's SVTN Team traveled 6km of mountainous roads to reach Sub-zone 13 and Na Tan village. In the morning, the team had a village cleaning session with the youth, visited and gave gifts to four families with difficult circumstances in Na Tan village and helped some families with difficult circumstances in Sub-zone 13 pick tea. In the afternoon, in coordination with the local delegation, the Team organized a cultural exchange to introduce and increase the understanding of the local people about the School's SVTN Team. On this occasion, comrade Nguyen Duy Tu (Team Leader) on behalf of the whole team presented two gifts to the leaders of Sub-zone 13 and Na Tan village. The activities of the SVTN Team will continue in the coming days in Hoa village and other villages in Tan Lap commune, especially towards the commemoration of the War Invalids and Martyrs Day on July 27.
