The students plan to carry out various activities, including teaching the Vietnamese language and computer skills, transferring technological advances to locals, and providing consultancy for Lao students, who wish to study in Vietnam, particularly at Vinh University.
The university’s students have conducted summer voluntary campaigns in Laos since 2007.
In addition, the university has also set up 30 groups with nearly 600 students to conduct voluntary activities in Nghe An’s disadvantaged mountainous districts, such as Que Phong, Ky Son, Tuong Duong, Quy Chau, Quy Hop and Con Cuong.
Their missions began on July 3, with activities at the Vinh SOS Children's Village – a home for orphaned and abandoned children, building rural roads and joining environmental protection campaigns.
