From July 20 to 23, 2026, more than 40 youth union members, students, staff members, and lecturers from the Faculty of Foreign Languages carried out a range of meaningful projects and activities, contributing to the local community in the areas of social welfare, digital transformation, education, environmental protection, and new-style rural development.
The campaign was officially launched at Hong Duc University on the morning of July 20, 2026, with the participation of M.A. Truong Ngoc Binh, Secretary of the University Youth Union; Ph.D. Vu Van Duan, President of the University Students’ Association; Ph.D. Nguyen Thanh Minh, Vice Dean of the Faculty of Foreign Languages; and M.A. Do Thi Thanh Huyen, Secretary of the Faculty Youth Union. Following the launch ceremony, the volunteer team travelled to Van Nho Primary School, where a local launch ceremony was held in the presence of representatives of the commune leadership, the school’s Board of Management, and representatives of local departments, organizations, and unions. At the ceremony, Ms. Nguyen Thi Minh Anh, Deputy Secretary of the Faculty Youth Union and a lecturer of the Faculty of Foreign Languages, assigned tasks to the volunteers and encouraged them to promote solidarity and responsibility and successfully accomplish the campaign’s objectives.
In celebration of the 79th anniversary of War Invalids and Martyrs’ Day (July 27, 1947 – July 27, 2026), on July 21, the volunteer team collaborated with the Van Nho Commune Military Command and the Van Nho Commune Youth Union to clean and renovate the grounds of the Monument to Heroic Martyrs. This activity contributed to maintaining a green, clean, and beautiful environment while promoting the tradition of gratitude and the Vietnamese moral principle of “When drinking water, remember its source.” On the same day, the team also worked with the Van Nho Commune Police to support digital transformation initiatives. Five volunteer teams were established in Kha, Van Thanh, Bo Hieng, Chuong Cai, and Keo Hieng Villages, directly assisting approximately 300–350 local residents with installing and activating the VNeID application, integrating the Electronic Health Record and health insurance card, and learning how to use various digital services.
During their time at Van Nho Primary School, the youth union members and students of the Faculty of Foreign Languages became “sowers of knowledge.” English classes featuring games, songs, communication activities, and pronunciation practice brought lively and engaging learning experiences to the pupils, helping them develop a greater interest in English and become more confident in communication.
The journey of spreading knowledge continued with the youth project “English Learning Hub.” More than 600 English books, storybooks, and learning materials donated by lecturers of the Faculty of Foreign Languages were sorted, arranged, and transformed by youth union members and students into a welcoming reading space for pupils at Van Nho Primary School. The sight of pupils excitedly choosing and engrossed in reading their first books was a clear testament to the practical significance of the project. In addition, youth union members and students worked with local youth union members and young people to conduct general clean-up activities, collect waste, and improve roads in Van Tien and Ky Tan Villages, Van Nho Commune, contributing to the development of a green, clean, and beautiful rural landscape.
During the campaign, the volunteer team also attended a memorial incense-offering ceremony for the Heroic Martyrs at the Van Nho Commune Monument. The ceremony was attended by Mr. Ngo Dinh Hai, Secretary of the Van Nho Commune Party Committee; Mr. Tong Minh Hoa, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the Van Nho Commune People’s Committee; and representatives of local departments, organizations, and unions. In a solemn atmosphere, the delegates, youth union members, and young people respectfully offered incense and observed a minute of silence to express their profound gratitude to the heroic martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the independence and freedom of the Fatherland.
On the evening of July 22, 2026, a cultural exchange program marking the conclusion of the 2026 Green Summer Campaign was held at Van Nho Primary School, with the participation of local leaders, the school’s Board of Management, youth union members, young people, and a large number of local residents. Representatives of the local authorities acknowledged and commended the achievements of the volunteer team. On behalf of the Faculty Youth Union, Ms. Nguyen Thi Minh Anh summarized the campaign and expressed her sincere thanks to the local Party Committee and authorities, Van Nho Primary School, and the people of Van Nho Commune for their continued support and favorable conditions, which enabled the volunteer team to successfully fulfill its mission. On this occasion, the Faculty Youth Union presented gifts to 10 disadvantaged pupils of Van Nho Primary School and gave commemorative gifts to the Van Nho Commune Youth Union and the school. The program concluded with cultural exchange performances, a campfire-lighting ceremony, and a mass singing performance of “Nối vòng tay lớn” (“Joining Hands”), leaving behind many beautiful memories shared by the youth of the Faculty of Foreign Languages and the local community.
On the morning of July 23, 2026, the volunteer team officially concluded its activities in Van Nho Commune, Thanh Hoa Province. After four days of meaningful and practical activities, the 2026 Green Summer Campaign came to an end, leaving a lasting impression on local residents and each participating youth union member and student.
From activities expressing gratitude at the Monument to Heroic Martyrs and supporting local residents in digital transformation to laughter-filled English classes and the “English Learning Hub” project, every activity contributed to creating a summer defined by responsibility, sharing, and dedication. These activities were not only meaningful contributions to the community but also valuable practical experiences that enabled youth union members and students of the Faculty of Foreign Languages to develop their courage, skills, and pioneering spirit as young people committed to serving the community.
