(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.
