According to the Committee, 150 Overseas Vietnamese youngsters and students will return to their homeland to join young locals in the summer camps pitched in 11 cities and provinces across the country from July 15 to August 4.
“During their stay in the homeland, they will take part in educational activities on the national history and culture,” said the Committee.
