(DN) - "People love to live, people trust to work, people remember to go" is the slogan of the Youth Union of Vietnam Aviation Academy in the "Green Summer" Volunteer Campaign in 2025. Promoting the spirit of shock and youthful enthusiasm, these days, the volunteer force of the Academy in the Dak O Commune Front Team has been carrying out many practical and meaningful activities, contributing to improving the material and spiritual life of people in the border area of Dong Nai province.

Many practical activities towards the community

Building “Youth Houses” for poor households in Village 7 and “Youth Wells” for people in Team 1, Bu Khon Village are two key projects in this year’s “Green Summer” Volunteer Campaign of the Youth Union of Vietnam Aviation Academy in Dak O Commune. Therefore, right from the first day of the campaign, volunteers went to the area, directly participating with the people in leveling the ground, digging sand, mixing mortar, building houses and wells.

Mr. Nguyen Chi Tam, resident of village 7, who received support from the group to build a house on this occasion, shared: His family is a poor household in the locality, the previous house was degraded, due to the low foundation, it was often flooded every time it rained.

“In addition to the 45 million VND supported by the youth volunteer group, my family also contributed to raise the foundation and build a living room to make the house more spacious. With a new house, my family can feel secure in production and stabilize our lives,” said Mr. Tam.

At team 1, Bu Khon village, from early morning, the drilling machine has been diligently drilling every meter of rock and soil to search for clean water. Right next to it, the green summer soldiers are also divided into groups to clear rocks and soil, mix mortar, build well yards, etc. Sweat drenches the backs of the volunteers' green shirts. Both people and machines race against time to soon have a clean water source for the people to use.

Even though it is summer vacation, if anyone passes by Dinh Bo Linh Primary School (Dak O Commune), they can still hear the faint sounds of children reading. It is an English and IT summer class taught by students of the Foreign Languages Department of the Academy. The children are taught by the "teachers" to get acquainted with new words, practice communication skills and basic knowledge.

Phuc Thien Di, a student at Dinh Bo Linh Primary School, excitedly shared: The summer class is so much fun. The teachers teach very easily. I hope this class lasts a long time!
