Shortly after the welcoming ceremony, the volunteers began their first project by painting a mural at the Cho Ro ethnic cultural house in the commune.

Through their creative artwork, the once-plain wall was transformed with colorful images reflecting the cultural identity of the Cho Ro ethnic group.

The mural also conveys messages of solidarity, environmental protection, preservation of traditional culture, and rural development.

Organizers said the artwork symbolizes friendship and cultural exchange between the youth of Vietnam and Indonesia.

The volunteers also organized summer activities for local children, featuring group games and interactive programs.
