Hanoi youth do charity work in Vientiane
VOV.VN - Due to large numbers of Lao children being affected by poverty, many of them are often malnourished and have little or no access to the education and healthcare they need, says the Hanoi Youth Union (HYU).

As part of the campaign the group will provide Laotians medical check-ups and other care including medicines free of charge as well as much needed guidance on accident prevention and disease control.
In addition, they will share knowledge and experience in agricultural production and get involved in a number of livelihood projects such as helping develop and equip a library at the Nakhuoai Primary School in Saysettha.
This is a great opportunity for volunteers who have an interest or skills in medical rehabilitation, such as orthopaedics, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, musculoskeletal therapy, psychology and social work, said Tran Anh Tuan, vice secretary of the HYU.
This is the ninth consecutive year the HYU has carried out the program in Vientiane, said Tuan, and each year our team has reported back that the people in Laos are wonderful and such a pleasure to be around.
