Additionally, the organisers also donated scholarships to poor and outstanding students, and granted houses to poor workers. Photos exhibition and music performances were also held.

In the recent years, Germany has carried out many investment projects in Vietnam, especially the wastewater and solid waste management project which contributed to reducing environmental pollution in the country.

Soc Trang is one of provinces that actively implemented the project and plans to put this system into operation in 2011.
