(HBO) – The standing committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union’s Hoa Binh chapter and the Republic of Korea (RoK)’s GNI organisation in Vietnam recently held a programme to review the second phase of the GNI-aided project on building a youth cultural centre in the province (2014-2018).
Attending
the event were leaders from the chapter, the provincial Department of Labour,
Invalids and Social Affairs, and representatives from the RoK organization,
along with over 300 students across Hoa Binh city.
Representatives
from the GNI organisation and leaders from the provincial chapter of the HCM
Communist Youth Union present scholarships to poor children with outstanding
academic performance at the centre.
The second phase of the project was carried
out from January 2014 to December 2018 with the aim of continuously
implementing or replacing some activities in the first phase, as well as
enabling youths from Hoa Binh city to join intensive courses and sports,
extracurricular and social activities, and use library services to develop
intellectual and physical strengths.
The project is carried out in four communes and
wards of Hoa Binh city, namely Thinh Lang, Thai Binh, Thong Nhat, and Dan Chu.
Its main activities are about library and training. During the five-year
implementation of the second phase, the project provided various kinds of books
for the library.
At present, the library has around 10,000 copies with rich contents and
suitable for young readers. In this period, the project trained around 1,338
primary, secondary and high school students with the subjects of English,
Korean, music, art, computing, martial arts, and sports.
The centre now has a multi-purpose house
covering over 500 square metres, four classrooms, one library, one working
house, and a 900-square-metre playground, creating a healthy learning and
playing environment for children.
At the event, representatives of the project
granted 50 scholarships worth 500,000 VND each to needy children at the centre.

During this Lunar New Year (Tet), residents of Vay Nua commune, Da Bac district are joyfully celebrating the arrival of spring with various festive activities. Along the main road of the commune, a newly installed solar-powered streetlight system stands out, completed just before Tet. Funded by Agribank Hoa Binh with a total investment of approximately 80 million VND (over 3,100 USD), the project has already proven beneficial. Not only does it enhance the rural landscape, but it also improves road safety and security, adding to the New Year’s cheer for the people of Vay Nua.
Nestled in Tan Lac district, Van Son commune boasts a breathtaking landscape reminiscent of a serene, poetic painting. Winding roads gracefully embrace the hillsides, enhancing the commune’s natural charm. As spring spreads its vibrant colours, the lives of local people continue to improve day by day.
The trade union of Hoa Binh province’s industrial parks has presented meaningful gifts to workers with difficulties, ensuring that they will have a warm Lunar New Year (Tet) holiday.
According to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development's report, in 2024, the appropriate authorities regularly propagated and disseminated forest protection management, forest development, and forest fire prevention and fighting.
