During his lifetime, President Ho Chi Minh taught the youth and children: “Love the Fatherland, love your compatriots. Study well, work well. Be united, be disciplined. Maintain good hygiene. Be humble, honest, and courageous.” Following these five teachings of President Ho Chi Minh, the youth and children of Vinh Phuc are striving to compete, train, and excel, worthy of becoming good children, good students, good Young Pioneers, and good grandchildren of President Ho Chi Minh.

The movement "Children compete to follow the 5 teachings of Uncle Ho" is a content that Huong Canh A Primary School - a model unit in the Youth Union activities of the Education sector of Binh Xuyen district - has consistently implemented, integrating it into subjects, collective activities, and extracurricular activities.

The school's Youth Union launched the youth project "Proud of Our Homeland," displaying a map of Vietnam's administrative divisions in the school's collective activity space and classrooms.

In response to the "Children's Fun and Health Day" event, the school's Youth Union organized an extracurricular activity with the theme "The Victory of Dien Bien Phu - The Strength of Vietnam, the stature of the modern era," with the participation of over 1,000 students.

During the program, the children participated in assembling puzzles and giving bilingual presentations in Vietnamese and English about two paintings: the hero Phan Dinh Giot and the Dien Bien Phu Victory; they also participated in a group dance performance titled "Proud Vietnamese Children" and many other fun and experiential activities such as tug-of-war and bamboo pole dancing.

In addition, the Youth Union launched QR codes for the "I am a Young Historian" competition and the "School Traditions" QR code; built an "Interactive Library with Youth Union Activity Space" model, and received 1,500 books, stories, newspapers, and magazines.

Every year, the Youth Union launches the "Small Plan - Big Meaning" program for students, encouraging them to collect recyclable materials such as beer cans, soda cans, plastic bottles, scrap paper, old books, etc., to build the Youth Union fund and construct youth projects; and to organize fundraising and support programs for students facing difficulties in their studies.

In particular, through the "Thousand Good Deeds" movement, many exemplary individuals have emerged with meaningful actions, such as Tran Duc Vinh, a student in class 5A2, who found a silver necklace and handed it over to his homeroom teacher to return it to the owner.

Ms. Ly Minh Phuong, Head of the Youth Union at Huong Canh A Primary School, said: "Implementing the movement 'Children compete to follow the 5 teachings of Uncle Ho,' the school's Youth Union proactively researches, innovates, and diversifies the forms of organizing activities suitable for their age group to create conditions and an environment for children to have the opportunity to develop their strengths, improve their skills in Youth Union activities and social activities; at the same time, we commend good examples and good deeds on the school's fanpage and at the weekly flag-raising ceremonies... to encourage spirit, create motivation, and create an environment for children to train and strive to become good children, good students, good Youth Union members, and good grandchildren of Uncle Ho."

Over the years, the Provincial Youth Union Council has concretized the movement "Vinh Phuc Children Compete to Follow the Five Teachings of Uncle Ho" with many appropriate and meaningful contents. Following Uncle Ho's teachings, "Love the Fatherland, love the people," the Youth Union branches have implemented activities such as "Remembering the Source of Water," "Showing Gratitude," "Journeys to Red Addresses," "Reading and Following the Youth Union Newspaper," and "Young People Doing Small Things"; organizing visits, encouragement, assistance, and gift-giving to families with meritorious service to the revolution, elderly people living alone without support, and caring for Vietnamese Heroic Mothers; buying toothpicks and pens to support the blind and disabled...

In response to the 7-week intensive campaign celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Dien Bien Phu Victory, the Youth Union branches launched a painting competition with the theme "I love Vietnam's seas and islands," linked to the "Proud of our homeland" campaign.

At the "Advancing Towards the Youth Union" event, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Youth Union, the Provincial and Yen Lac District Children's Councils presented 5 bicycles and 10 gifts, 14 maps of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, and the "Young Bamboo Garden" project to students of Dai Tu Secondary School…

To concretize the content of "Studying well, working well," the Youth Union branches launched emulation campaigns through the "Good Grades Flower" and "Clean Notebooks, Beautiful Handwriting" movements, with thousands of "Good Grades Flowers" presented to mothers and teachers. 100% of the Youth Union branches organized the training of awareness and conduct for children through the strict implementation of school discipline, promoting the role of self-study, training, and self-cultivation of each member and child.

Implementing the theme "Good unity, good discipline," the Youth Union Councils at all levels in the province have launched the emulation movement "Building friendly schools, active students"; disseminated and popularized the Road Traffic Law; and maintained the model of safe and orderly school gates. Youth Union branches in the province maintain clubs for writing poetry and prose for students, "Young Pioneers Propaganda Teams," "Suggestion Boxes," etc.
