At the handover ceremony (Photo: VNA) The charity work is part of volunteer activities that the group has conducted in the locality from October 16-20, which also include Korean language teaching for local children, as well as art, sports activities and folk games of Vietnam and the RoK, said Deputy Secretary of the provincial Youth Union, and President of the Vietnam Youth Federation's Ben Tre chapter Phan Thanh Tre.
Along with benefiting the local community, the activities have helped strengthened exchanges among youngsters of Vietnam and the RoK, contributing to fostering the friendship between the two countries, said Tre.
Kang Seohyun, a volunteer of the RoK’s Dream School organisation, said that thanks to the programme, she and other members of the group have had the chance to explore the culture of the Mekong Delta region. She expressed her hope to have more opportunities to return to Vietnam for volunteer activities.

On October 20, the group handed over the four houses to local households./.
