The programme includes a series of events organised to connect Vietnamese youth and students with oversea Vietnamese youngsters around the world through physical, creative and volunteering activities, thus inspiring young people towards creative start-ups and community support activities.
All the donations and proceeds from the programme will be used to launch a charity programme in support of more than 300 child patients undergoing treatment at the National Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion.
The event’s aim is to connect Vietnamese youth, expose them to advanced technology, promote volunteer movements, and inspire the youth’s dynamism.
