Binh Thuan: Youth month officially started

These days, the Ham Thuan Bac district seems to become more bustling because of the blue shirts of the union members and young people. The spirit of volunteering and the enthusiasm of the youth has spread to every street and every corner of the countryside. At night, many dark streets are now lighted up thanks to the "lighting village" project of union members and young people.
