8,800 volunteers mobilized for National Day celebration in Hanoi

On Saturday afternoon, the volunteers gathered at Hang Day Stadium in Hanoi to receive their assignments and demonstrate their readiness.

The Hanoi Youth Union has organized the volunteers into task groups responsible for guiding delegates and distributing essential supplies at the Ba Dinh Square grandstand area, as well as providing supplies to the public along the parade routes.

The volunteers will also manage storage facilities, distribute and transport materials to designated locations, support public order and environmental sanitation, and assist in welcoming delegations from across the country and international guests attending the celebration.

According to the Hanoi Youth Union, the volunteers were carefully selected based on their political awareness, ethics, and academic performance.

Some teams include members with strong foreign language skills and good health to meet the demands of their duties.

To ensure safety and efficiency, the Hanoi Youth Union has arranged more than 200 vehicles to transport the volunteers during their assignments.

The volunteers have undergone training in essential skills, including supporting public order, environmental sanitation, emergency evacuation, first aid, and safety procedures.

They were told to ensure discipline, professionalism, and personal safety.

Nguyen Tien Hung, secretary of the Hanoi Youth Union, described this as a special deployment. 

The 8,800 volunteers represent nearly three million young people and more than 600,000 members of the Hanoi Youth Union across the capital.

The work will be carried out across a wide area, from Ba Dinh Square to more than 10 kilometers of streets along the parade route.

This massive workload requires strong health, a scientific working method, and above all, a pioneering spirit and desire to contribute.

He believes that the volunteers will excel in every task assigned.

Every smile, word, and action they take reflects the image of the youth of Hanoi in particular and Vietnamese youth in general, said Hung.

They will directly contribute to spreading national pride, creating a beautiful and memorable image of Hanoi, and ultimately, showcasing the spirit of young Vietnamese people to the entire country and international friends, Hung added.
