With the slogan "Protecting the environment, peace and friendship as a symbol of the strong relationship between the two peoples of Vietnam and Japan, to rise for a blue world", the program planted 400 Sonneratia caseolaris trees.
This is a meaningful and practical activity in order to raise awareness of the people about the role of the mangrove ecosystem, thereby joining hands in recovering and planting mangroves, which will contribute to mitigation of bad effects on the environment.
In the framework of the program, the Red Cross delegation of the Kyushu Prefecture visited and presented gifts to disadvantaged students who made high academic achievements at the Song Khoai secondary school in the town./.
