(HBO) - The Young Entrepreneurs’ Association of the northwestern province of Hoa Binh held a conference on March 27 to launch activities for this year.

Members of the association proactively participated in charitable and social welfare activities, including those to build two houses for needy families and children’s playground. They also organised programmes celebrating traditional Lunar New Year (Tet) holiday for the poor, along with giving over 100 gift sets to policy beneficiaries, disadvantaged families, local youths and workers, and people with disabilities.
