Date: (04/08/2023)

In the spirit of commemorating 30 years of youth summer volunteer programs in Ho Chi Minh City (1994 - 2023), the Green Summer Campaign teams from the  Ho Chi Minh City Open University organized and implemented various practical projects aimed at serving the community, including:

 

In administrative reform and E-Government Support activities, Green Summer Campaign teams collaborated with local authorities to focus on promoting online public services and supporting the activation of electronic identification levels 1 and 2 for citizens. To date, they have assisted more than 4,100 residents in activating their electronic identities in various districts and provinces, including District 1, District 3, District Go Vap, District 7, Nha Be District, Long An Province, and Tien Giang Province.

 

 

In Urban Civilization, Environmental Protection, and Climate Change Mitigation work, the teams planted nearly 1,800 green trees in various locations where they were stationed; conducted painting and renovation of walls in Ho Chi Minh City with messages promoting environmental awareness. Additionally, the Green Future team, specializing in environmental activities, organized workshops and activities for children to raise awareness about environmental protection. The City team also jointly organized children's festivals to enhance the environmental consciousness of young participants.

 

 

 

 

Legal awareness activities are also concentrated throughout the Campaign. The Legal Outreach team conducted thematic workshops and simulated court sessions in various locations, involving diverse age groups, from children to young adults and the residents. So far, they have carried out nearly 20 legal awareness activities in different locations, attracting over 3,000 participants.

 

 

Various volunteer activities for children were organized, including children's festivals, summer classes, and gift-giving activities to support disadvantaged children. Notably, the Foreign Language team organized English classes for children in different districts, providing them with an opportunity to both have fun and improve their English skills.

 

 

The Green Summer volunteers collaborated with local communities where they were stationed to implement rural development projects. For instance, the Long An team constructed a sports field for youth and organized activities to promote health and well-being in Tan Phuoc Tay Commune. The Tien Giang team repaired a 1-kilometer road and a rural bridge to ensure safe transportation for local residents in Tan Hoa Dong Commune.

 

 

In this year's campaign, the campaign headquarters also organized online volunteer activities to harness the expertise of specialized teams, linking academic learning with practical engagement. These activities were regularly shared on the "Áo xanh OU" (OU Green) fanpage, covering various topics specific to each team and attracting numerous students who actively participated and learned.
