The visit and gift-giving for underprivileged pediatric patients marked the first activity of the “Spring Volunteer” journey under the 2026 Spring Volunteer Campaign organized by the Provincial Youth Union and the Vietnam Students’ Association of Dong Nai province. Alongside the Spring Volunteer journey, within the framework of the campaign, the Provincial Youth Union and the Vietnam Students’ Association of the province will also organize a series of activities, including the “Border Spring – Loving Tet” journey in Dak O commune and the music night titled “Warm Spring – Sharing Love”.

In addition to province-level activities, the Provincial Youth Union and the Vietnam Students’ Association of Dong Nai have also directed subordinate Youth Union and Association units to organize a series of journeys, including “Sharing Spring”, “Soldiers’ Spring”, “Identity Spring”, and “Loving Spring”. These efforts aim to foster the pioneering, volunteer, and creative spirit of youth union members, association members, and students; create an environment for them to train, contribute, and mature; and affirm the role of the Youth Union and Students’ Association in supporting disadvantaged children and young people.
