Mobilizing youth to help people after the flood

At Thach Tuan 2 village (Hoa Xuan commune), members of the Youth Union of Dak Lak Rubber Joint Stock Company were present early, coordinating with local authorities to survey the damage, divide forces, and deploy to clean up heavily silted areas.

In Tuy An Bac commune, which was heavily affected by the flood, the provincial youth volunteer team quickly divided into groups to visit each household to clean up mud, trash, and scrub walls and yards.

Not only cleaning, the youth force also supports repairing the electricity and water systems, clearing drainage ditches, building fences and barns; and works with teachers to clean classrooms to quickly bring teaching and learning activities back to normal. At dangerous landslide sites, the union members coordinate with functional forces to direct traffic, set up warning signs, and ensure safety for people moving around.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Nhu Quyen, Secretary of Tuy Hoa Ward Youth Union, said that union members and young people joined forces immediately after the flood receded. “This is not only an annual volunteer activity but also demonstrates the sense of responsibility of young people towards the community,” Ms. Quyen shared.

At the Ecofarm Green Island Tourist Area (Ea Na Commune), the entire area was flooded, many small structures were displaced, and fallen trees blocked the way. As soon as the water receded, 35 members of the Ea Na Youth Union quickly divided into groups to clear the area, collect trash, dredge mud and clear the flow.

Promoting professional advantages, the Department of Health 's Youth Union organized medical examinations, health consultations and free medicine distribution for people in the localities after the floods. Here, the team of young doctors and nurses checked for common diseases after the floods and instructed people on how to prevent epidemics. Many cases of the elderly, children and pregnant women were carefully examined and received timely treatment.

Not only contributing to the recovery of the scene, the spirit of mutual love of Dak Lak youth is also clearly demonstrated through many activities to care for the people. The Provincial Youth Union has mobilized businesses, philanthropists, and volunteer organizations inside and outside the province to support necessities, clean water, clothes, and medicine.

Youth Union members and students participate in supporting the reception and transportation of goods and necessities for people in flood-affected areas.

Many creative models have also been deployed by the Youth Union at all levels such as "Youth Group to support post-flood production recovery", "Youth Team to repair houses", "Volunteer Saturday - Green Sunday" to help people clean up fields and restore flooded crop areas. This is not only an immediate activity but also contributes to bringing production back to normal pace.

Each simple gift and each day of hard work by Dak Lak youth has made an important contribution to the recovery process after the natural disaster. That enthusiasm and enthusiasm not only helps people stabilize their lives soon but also strongly spreads the spirit of solidarity and humanity in the community.

The whole province has mobilized more than 3,000 union members and youths to participate in supporting flood relief. The provincial team alone has 55 volunteers who are lecturers, young doctors and students from colleges and universities in the province. In addition, Dong Nai Provincial Youth Union and Ho Chi Minh City Youth Union also supported more than 200 volunteers to help the flood-hit areas of Dak Lak.
