"Green Summer" in the highlands of staff and students of Vietnam Women's Academy

Carrying the spirit of “Where there is a need, there is youth, where there is difficulty, there is youth”, more than 50 cadres, lecturers and students of the Vietnam Women's Academy came to Tan Ky commune (Thai Nguyen) to share difficulties, spread knowledge and light the fire of volunteerism in the highlands.

Tan Ky commune (Thai Nguyen) has 1,812 households with 7,629 people, Kinh ethnic group accounts for only 6%, Tay and Dao ethnic groups make up the majority, in addition there are Nung and San Chi ethnic groups. There are absolutely no factories or enterprises here, the main economy is from forestry and slash-and-burn agriculture, most people grow acacia, fat and some perennial trees.

Within 4 days (from July 18-21, 2025), the volunteer group joined the Women's Union and the Youth Union of the commune to do many tasks towards social security, for a "Green - Clean - Beautiful" environment such as organizing incense offering and flower planting, cleaning the Martyrs' Memorial towards the 78th anniversary of War Invalids and Martyrs Day (July 27).

The volunteer activities of the students have left many good impressions in the hearts of local people. What made the young people participating in the campaign feel most moved was the warm welcome of the Tay and Dao ethnic students here.

"I wish you guys would stay here forever!", a simple sentence, but it made the whole volunteer group moved. Because they understood that the small things they did had truly touched the children's hearts. Without needing flowery words, the highland people responded to that feeling with songs, folk dances of the mountains and forests... or quiet footsteps following the group as if not wanting to leave.
