The second week’s theme will be “Green Environment”. A tree-planting festival will be held, and activities to raise youths’ awareness of environmental protection and climate change will be organised.
Meanwhile, during the third week of March, young people will take part in social welfare activities, including building houses for the poor, providing free health check-ups and medicine for poor people and policy beneficiaries, and presenting gifts to them.
