In recent years, the Youth Union at all levels has paid attention to and implemented many practical activities imbued with the spirit of "All for beloved juniors".

Many practical activities

This summer is probably the happiest summer for the family of Vang A Phang (5 years old, My A area, Thu Cuc commune, Tan Son district) when the functions on his face will be almost fully restored from now on. Phang was unfortunately born with a cleft palate, which affects his eating and speaking; his family is in difficult circumstances, his parents do not have stable jobs. Surgery for Phang to have a healthy face and complete functions is very difficult.

Knowing Phang's situation, the Youth Union of Tan Son District Medical Center connected with the Volunteer Doctors Association (Hanoi City) to cover all the surgery costs for him at the National Children's Hospital. The association also supported Phang's medicine and nutrition after the surgery. Up to now, Phang's health has stabilized, and his facial functions have almost recovered. Ms. Vang Thi Do, Phang's mother, shared: My family is extremely touched and grateful to the doctors. After the surgery, my child has healed completely, and his facial functions have almost recovered. He is no longer self-conscious with his friends. Since the surgery, my family's life has changed a lot.

For my dear juniors

As an organization representing the voices and aspirations of children; supervising the implementation of children's rights, the Youth Union at all levels has established and effectively operated models, playgrounds, and clubs for children such as: "Young Reporters", "Children's Rights", "Ensuring Traffic Safety"; "Prevention and Combat of School Violence", "Gender Equality"...

Through the clubs, children are able to improve their knowledge and skills in caring for and protecting themselves, knowledge of the Law on Children, and children's rights. At the same time, they can have fun, participate in cultural and artistic activities, sports ; exchange and learn, share their thoughts, aspirations and express their wishes or worries and risks that may happen to them. From there, create a healthy playground, helping children to be more proactive, creative and confident in life.

Many children have boldly discussed with teachers, parents and relatives about their rights, duties, dreams about their careers and future... The activities of the clubs have directly impacted the children's awareness and indirectly impacted their families and schools as well as attracted the attention of the Party Committee, local authorities and society about protecting, caring for and educating children.
