Visiting Hoa Binh (Peace) village in Phu Ninh district, the delegates visited orphans and children with disabilities who are being cared for, providing over 100 presents to the children and studying their daily lives there.

Established since 2010, the village is home to 112 orphans, disabled children and homeless elderly people. “Those who are living here always receive adequate healthcare, education and social activities,” said Nguyen Thi Hong Hanh, Director of the village.

The youth delegates had an interesting experience in Tam Thanh village, featuring colourful and vivid mural paintings on local residents’ walls.

In Hoi An ancient quarter, a world cultural heritage, the delegates visited lantern making foundations and had a chance to observe steps in making the lanterns - a typical tourism product of Hoi An city./.
