Specifically, the campaign will run from July 12 to August 3, covering two main fronts: Ho Chi Minh City and Dong Thap province. In Ho Chi Minh City, volunteer teams will be active in Thanh My Tay Ward, Thu Duc Ward, Tang Nhon Phu Ward, Long Binh Ward, and Nha Be Commune, focusing on activities such as: Creating “Civilized Alley - Clean and Beautiful Neighborhood” projects, promoting waste sorting at source, tutoring children, organizing playgrounds for kids, providing digital literacy support to residents, supporting local authorities in two-tier government operations.
The enthusiastic spirit of each team across various fronts
Mr. Vo Xuan Dat emphasized, “Today we march not just with backpacks, blue shirts, and sandals, but also with the knowledge, skills, and compassion forged through years of learning and training at HUTECH. We won’t fear the sun, distance, or challenges, because we understand that a youth without experience, struggle, or generosity is an incomplete youth. Let the people remember HUTECH students as those who came with love, stayed with purpose, and left with lasting memories.”
On behalf of the university, Dr. Huynh Ngoc Anh - Vice President - shared his hopes, “The Green Summer campaign offers a real-world environment for students to grow in character, mindset, and action, while spreading positive values. I hope you will uphold discipline, stay safe, and give your best to make this campaign a success.”

Representing the volunteers, Nguyen Bui Dieu Nguyen - a student stationed in Dong Thap - expressed her dedication, “In this era of a rising Vietnam, we understand that every project, every task, every shared smile contributes to building the image of a dynamic, responsible, and idealistic student generation. Though we know challenges lie ahead, they will forge our resilience, unity, and determination. Contribution doesn’t have to be grand; it’s about doing the smallest things with our whole hearts. We will turn each day of the campaign into a beautiful memory, a testament to youth in action. And when it’s over, we’ll proudly say: We lived a vibrant, fulfilling Green Summer.”
