Posted: Aug 20,2010

As many as 190 school children from Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia flocked to a summer camp in Ho Chi Minh City on August 10.

The camp aims to encourage children to follow Vietnam President Ho Chi Minh’s teachings, focusing on unity, passion for study, a strong work ethic, courtesy and honesty as shown in the names of the participants’ five teams.

During their three-day camp in the city named after President Ho Chi Minh, the children will pay a floral tribute to the late president at his museum and visit the Nha Rong Wharf, where he left the country to begin his cause for national salvation.

They will also be shown around the Museum of War Relics, the Vietnam History Museum and the former revolutionary base in Can Gio district.

Campers are also scheduled to hold an art exchange with local children, watch water puppetry, go on a trip to Cu Chi district (called Steel Land) and enjoy entertainments in Dam Sen park.

The summer camp is one of a series of events hosted by Ho Chi Minh City programme to highlight Vietnam’s role as the Chairman of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in 2010.

The event is expected to promote caring and sharing attitudes among children from seven provinces in the three countries, namely Vientiane (capital), Champasak and Attapeu provinces in Laos, Phnom Penh (capital), Rattanak Kiri and Stung Treng provinces in Cambodia and Ho Chi Minh City of Vietnam.

"... From the beginning of the first century A.D., when the two Trung Sisters rose up to fight the enemy and save the nation, until now, whenever our country has faced danger, our women have contributed whatever they could toward the cause of national liberation.

Our people are grateful that our mothers from South and North alike have borne and raised our nation's generation of heroes....

Under the Socialist system, tens of thousands of women have become specialists in different fields and, as cadre, serve as directors and vice-directors of factories, leaders of farming cooperatives, presidents of People’s Committees, and general secretaries of Party Cells....

And so, the women of Vietnam from ancient times until now, from South to North, from young to old, are truly heroes ..."

(Excerpted from President Ho Chi Minh's speech on the 36th Anniversary of Vietnam Women's Union 20 October 1966)
