8,800 volunteers ready for National Day celebration

The volunteers will be in charge of guiding delegates, distributing essential supplies at Ba Dinh Square’s grandstand area, supporting citizens along parade routes, managing storage facilities, transporting supplies, assisting with social order and environmental protection, and helping to welcome domestic and foreign delegations.

As many as 8,800 volunteers gathered at Hang Day Stadium in Hanoi on August 16, preparing to serve the celebrations of the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution (August 19) and National Day (September 2).

According to the Hanoi Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union, the volunteers were meticulously selected from 43 universities, colleges, and communes across the city for their moral and political virtues, good academic records, physical health, and foreign language proficiency.

They will be in charge of guiding delegates, distributing essential supplies at Ba Dinh Square’s grandstand area, supporting citizens along parade routes, managing storage facilities, transporting supplies, assisting with social order and environmental protection, and helping to welcome domestic and foreign delegations.

At the event, Secretary of the Youth Union Committee and Chairman of the Hanoi Students’ Association Nguyen Tien Hung recalled that 80 years ago, young people stood in the vanguard of the nation’s struggle for independence and freedom. He highlighted today generations are honoured to shoulder crucial responsibilities for the city to organise this grand celebration.

He described this as an opportunity for the youth to demonstrate the national pride and dedication, expressing his confidence that the volunteers will excel in their assigned duties, creating lasting impression of Hanoi and Vietnamese youth on both domestic and international visitors.

The Youth Union provided volunteers with uniforms, badges, and training sessions on security assistance, environmental protection, crowd guidance, emergency evacuation, and first aid.

More than 200 buses will transport the volunteers safely to and from duty posts during the celebration./.
