Igniting hope through Youth Month projects.

March – the month of volunteerism in blue uniforms – is also the time when the youth of Ca Mau enthusiastically strive to achieve accomplishments to celebrate the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union (March 26, 1931 - March 26, 2026). This pioneering spirit is being concretized through practical projects, bringing "light" to rural areas and providing further motivation for those in difficult circumstances.

Mr. Pham Tuan Tai, Secretary of the Provincial Youth Union, emphasized that Youth Month is "The month of youth - the month of aspirations to contribute."

Projects are booming from the grassroots level.

On the day of the handover of the "House of Compassion" on the morning of March 16th, Ta Khanh Bang, a student in class 11B1 at Nguyen Viet Khai High School (Ly Van Lam Ward), could not hide her emotion upon receiving financial support for her studies from her teachers and the school.

Coming from a difficult family background, with her parents and older siblings working far away, Bang lives with her younger brother, Ta Dang Nguyen (Grade 1, Ly Thuong Kiet Primary School). Despite taking care of her brother and managing her studies independently, Bang still maintains a good academic record.

This makeshift shelter is the old house where Khanh Bang and her younger brother live.

Since the beginning of the 2025-2026 school year, the Party Committee, Trade Union, and Youth Union of Nguyen Viet Khai High School have mobilized the collective of staff, teachers, students, and alumni to contribute nearly 42 million VND to build a new house for Bang, replacing her previous temporary dwelling.

Mr. Vu Tuan Khanh, Vice Principal of Nguyen Viet Khai High School, shared: “The family will continue to create favorable conditions for Bang to go to school and pursue her dream of literacy. The school will continue to accompany her in teaching, educating , and supporting her so that she has more motivation on her learning path.”

The collective of Nguyen Viet Khai High School and Ly Van Lam Ward Youth Union handed over a house to Ta Khanh Bang during Youth Month.

This is the third "House of Compassion" that the school has helped provide to students in difficult circumstances over the past three consecutive school years.

Ms. Truong Diem Kieu, Secretary of the Ly Van Lam Ward Youth Union, said: “The teachers have shown concern and provided accommodation for her. The ward's Youth Union hopes that Bang will continue to strive for better academic performance to repay the teachers' kindness.”

Khánh Băng was moved to receive the support from the teachers and the school.

Also during Youth Month , the An Xuyen Ward Youth Union raised funds to implement the "Lighting Up Rural Roads" project in Hamlet 22. The project spans 3 km with 60 solar-powered streetlights, costing a total of 150 million VND. Along this road, a national flag display was also incorporated, contributing to a more attractive landscape for the residential area.

Nguyen Tran Dang Khoa, Secretary of the An Xuyen Ward Youth Union, emphasized: "This project is not just about installing a lighting system, but also demonstrates the proactive and volunteer spirit of young people. The electric lights will help people travel more safely, while also raising awareness of maintaining security, order, and environmental hygiene."

The project was carried out with the support of the Youth Unions of the following units: Ca Mau Petroleum Fertilizer Joint Stock Company, Ca Mau Petroleum Power Company, Ho Thi Ky High School, Ca Mau High School, and Phan Ngoc Hien Specialized High School.

According to Mr. Nguyen Van Tu, Secretary of the Youth Union of the Ca Mau Petroleum Fertilizer Corporation: "To ensure the lighting system remains effective, we hope that the government and the people will work together to maintain and preserve it. Each citizen will be an 'extended arm' contributing to building a bright, green, clean, and beautiful residential area, ensuring security and order."

Mr. Nguyen Van Tu, Secretary of the Youth Union of Ca Mau Petroleum Fertilizer Joint Stock Company, presented the symbolic plaque for the "Lighting Up Rural Roads" project.

Month of Youth and the Aspiration to Contribute

According to Pham Tuan Tai, Secretary of the Ca Mau Provincial Youth Union, Youth Month is "the month of youth, of the aspiration to contribute." After 23 years of implementation, Youth Month has become a widespread political activity for young people nationwide.

The journey back to our roots, a tribute to those who have served the country, was undertaken by the youth of Ca Mau to express their gratitude to families entitled to preferential policies.

The Youth Month 2026 will take place from March 10th to 31st, with 9 key objectives linked to various tasks: disseminating information about the election of National Assembly and People's Council representatives at all levels; promoting the role of youth in digital transformation, building new rural areas and civilized urban areas; supporting youth in starting and developing businesses; caring for children and teenagers; and building a strong Youth Union organization.

Caring for and protecting children is also a meaningful endeavor maintained within the Youth Union's work.

The youth of Ca Mau also actively participate in implementing Resolution No. 68-NQ/TW of the Politburo on the development of the private economy, fostering an entrepreneurial spirit and innovation among young people; supporting the formation of effective economic models, contributing to promoting the province's economic development.

In his article "The Future for a Rising Generation," General Secretary To Lam placed high expectations on the younger generation in the journey of building Vietnam into a developed nation by 2045. With that belief in mind, the youth of Ca Mau are determined to uphold the spirit of unity, aspiration, creativity, and dedication, making positive contributions to the province's development.
Mr. Pham Tuan Tai, Secretary of the Ca Mau Provincial Youth Union, shared this.

The practical projects undertaken during Youth Month not only bring light to disadvantaged rural areas but also spread the pioneering spirit and sense of responsibility of young people. This also serves as motivation for Youth Union members and young people to continue creating meaningful contributions, helping to build a more developed Ca Mau homeland.
