They hoped assistance for ethnic minority students will be deployed more comprehensively, saying that this will be an important foundation for students in ethnic minority areas to develop and contribute their youth and enthusiasm to building their homeland and the country.
Established in 1999, the fund was named after Vu A Dinh (1934-1949), an ethnic Mong man in the northern mountainous province of Dien Bien. After 25 years of operations, the fund has provided scholarships to outstanding students living ethnic minority areas nationwide. Many of them have participated in training projects organised by the fund, contributing to improving the qualifications of high-quality human resources for the country.
Projects implemented by the fund with the support from agencies, sectors, donors, and businesses, have contributed to developing infrastructure in ethnic minority areas, and expanding programmes and projects for the community, society, and country.
Meanwhile, the “For the Beloved Hoang Sa and Truong Sa” Club has deployed practical activities, connecting people across the country and collecting donations for building and protecting Hoang Sa and Truong Sa of Vietnam./.
