VOV.VN - A total of 19 collectives and individuals were honoured for their outstanding contributions to volunteer work this year, at an awards ceremony held in Hanoi on December 3.
Nguyen Ngoc Luong, secretary of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union (HCYU) Central Committee and president of the Vietnam Youth Federation, spoke highly of contributions made by volunteers to the community, especially in social activities. He took the occasion to call on organisations, individuals, and donors to further support volunteer activities moving forward.
The organisers presented awards to nine collectives and 10 individuals selected from 258 nominations across the country.
As many as 200 collectives nationwide were also presented with certificates of merit for their contributions to the community through voluntary work done in various fields this year.
The awards ceremony is part of the national Youth Volunteer Day festival held on December 3 - 4, providing chances for participants to meet and share experiences in volunteering. The festival also marks UN International Volunteer Day which falls on December 5 annually.
As scheduled, a blood donation festival will be held ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday, with more than 3,000 volunteers expected to take part in.
