NGUYEN HUU HOANG LONG: Spreading love from simple things

In his journey of living a beautiful life, Nguyen Huu Hoang Long (Ngu Hanh Son ward) chose to contribute through concrete and persistent actions. For him, compassion is not found in words, but is present in every trip, every drop of donated blood and sleepless nights with the local security forces to keep the neighborhood peaceful.

As the Chairman of Nhan Tam Volunteer Club (Ngu Hanh Son Ward), Mr. Long and his members organized more than 20 charity trips "Sharing - Giving Love" to the people in the highlands of Da Nang. In the past two years, the Club has mobilized more than 300 million VND, presented hundreds of gifts, and supported livelihoods for poor households and children in difficult circumstances. In 2025, in Dong Giang Commune, he and volunteers presented more than 70 gifts worth 15 million VND, contributing to sharing difficulties with the people here.

Not only focusing on remote areas, Nguyen Huu Hoang Long also devoted much of his heart to the community where he lived. He coordinated with the police force to give 100 Mid-Autumn Festival and Tet gifts to children and poor households in the Hoa Hai residential area; mobilized more than 200 million VND to help many people who had traffic accidents and suffered from serious illnesses.

As an active member of the “Understanding and Loving” Blood Donor Club, he has donated blood and platelets more than 30 times to help many patients in critical condition. He also regularly encourages relatives and friends to participate in blood donation, spreading the noble act for the community.

RIAH DỰU: Contributing youth efforts to build the homeland in the highlands

In the mountainous commune of Hung Son, when mentioning the young man Co Tu Riah Diu (a specialist of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of the commune), everyone admires him. With a sense of responsibility, youthful enthusiasm and a heart for the community, Riah Diu has contributed to changing the face of the mountainous countryside with many difficulties.

As a young cadre, Riah Diu advised and successfully organized many large volunteer campaigns such as “Green Summer”, “Youth Action for the Community”, leaving his mark with practical civil works. Not only stopping at mass activities, he also cares about specific matters closely related to people’s lives.

Understanding the hardships of the people when traveling on the muddy dirt road, Mr. Diu voluntarily donated 2,000m2 of land to open a production road nearly 1km long, connecting the two villages of Aroi and Ating. Since the road was completed, more than 30 households have been able to travel conveniently, and the transportation of agricultural products has also become easier.

As the Head of the Aroi Village Front Committee, Riah Diu mobilized youth and residents to build 20 solar-powered lamp posts to light up the main roads of the village. The light from the lamps not only helps ensure safe travel but also brings joy and cohesion to the community. Children have a place to play in the evening, residents can work with peace of mind, and security and order are ensured.

In Ki'Noonh village, where people have to cross streams to get to the rice production area, Mr. Diu and young people built a 60m suspension bridge, helping people move more conveniently and safely during the rainy season. Not only did he contribute his labor, he also directly mobilized resources and called for the community's cooperation to complete the project soon.

During the Covid-19 outbreak, Riah Diu played the role of youth leader, mobilizing people to donate more than 200kg of agricultural products to people in the epidemic area in Ho Chi Minh City. These simple but meaningful actions were spread, helping to foster the beautiful image of the youth in the highlands of Da Nang.

NGUYEN THI TUONG VI: Young teacher lives beautifully for the community

Not only is she a passionate young teacher, Nguyen Thi Tuong Vi is also a person who inspires community activities. With her youthful energy and sense of responsibility, Tuong Vi has turned small ideas into big actions, contributing to spreading a beautiful and useful lifestyle in the community and society.

In the 2024-2025 school year, Secretary of the Youth Union of Phan Dang Luu Primary School (Hoa Cuong Ward) Tuong Vi was proactive and creative in movement activities, aiming to sow seeds of kindness in each student. One of the typical models is the project "Trees for the community", where Tuong Vi mobilized students from all classes to plant and take care of flower beds and ornamental plants.

When the trees grew big, the students sent them to the school’s Youth Union to sell and raised more than 11 million VND. From the money, the school’s Youth Union supported students who overcame difficulties to study well and people with difficult circumstances in the area.

Initiating the program “Breakfast of Love”, Tuong Vi and her colleagues prepared noodles, vermicelli, and rice to sell to raise funds. From the proceeds, she organized the cooking and distribution of hundreds of free meals; gave gifts to poor children and patients in need. The small meals carried love, showing the sharing hearts of those working in education.

Tuong Vi also personally designed Tet calendars and lucky money envelopes to sell to raise funds, earning more than 10 million VND for humanitarian activities. It is from these concrete actions that the message of living beautifully and usefully is conveyed by her with all her heart and responsibility as a young person who wants to spread love.

In particular, Tuong Vi organizes the model “Connecting love and reading culture”, helping students at the school have a space to read, study, and be excited when going to school. From that class, reading culture is spread, helping students form positive thinking and lifelong learning habits.

As a 5th grade homeroom teacher, Tuong Vi is always dedicated, responsible and devoted to her students. She is recognized as an excellent homeroom teacher, completing her duties excellently for 4 consecutive years; and was honored as an Emulation Fighter for 3 consecutive years 2022 - 2025.
