More than 200 volunteer programmes for the community in remote, far-flung and pandemic-hit localities have been launched in recent days in response to the National Volunteer Day 2021.

The Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union held a ceremony to observe National Volunteer Day 2021 and the National Volunteer Award on December 5 in both virtual and in-person formats.

National Volunteer Day 2021, themed "Volunteer now for common future”, is an annual activity of Vietnamese youths in response to International Volunteer Day.

The launch of more than 200 volunteer programmes has attracted the participation of nearly 25,000 volunteers who presented gifts to nearly 5,000 needy people and children, mobilised more than 7,000 units of blood to hospitals and various medical equipment to frontline forces, as well as participating in the building of construction works worth nearly 15 billion VND.

At the ceremony, the Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union presented the National Volunteer Award 2021 to 10 collectives and 10 individuals who recorded outstanding achievements in volunteer activities for the community.

First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union Nguyen Tuan Anh said that after 11 years of implementation, the National Volunteer Award has honoured more than 220 outstanding collectives and individuals, thus contributing to spreading the spirit of volunteerism throughout the entire society.

"The kindness, benevolent heart, sharing, voluntary spirit and dedication of the volunteers will contribute to building a prosperous and happy Vietnam in the future,” Nguyen Tuan Anh noted.
