Practically caring and cultivating the young generation

When alive, President Ho Chi Minh often reminded and tasked sectors, unions with children protection and care. In his testament, he carefully recommended: “Fostering a revolutionary generation for the future is a very important and necessary thing”. Following his teachings, in recent years, Ho Chi Minh Young Pioneer Organization (HYPO) at all levels in the province has strived to take care of the young generation through specific activities…

According to statistics, the province currently has nearly 200,000 members of more than 3,500 HYPO detachments. This number proved that along with the socio-economic boom, the province has attracted people from all over the country to come here, leading to the increase number of young people who followed their family and came to Binh Duong. To take good care of these children, provincial HYPO and affiliates have been gradually improved. Therefore, the force in charge of managing young people has also grown. The province has now 213 teachers as general leaders of HYPOs in schools, hundreds of cadres managing young people in residential areas, and a qualified team of collaborators at HYPOs.
