Hang expressed her hope that after the camp, the young OVs will have good memories of their friends and people who they meet during the journey to explore the homeland.

They are also expected to help people know more about Vietnam.

The summer camp is scheduled to take place in 10 localities across Vietnam from July 18 to August 2. During the camp, participants will have a chance to visit and learn about the culture, history, and traditions of the country; participate in gratitude and memorial activities; exchange with local youngsters; and take part in voluntary youth programmes and competitions, among others.

First held in 2004, the camp has brought thousands of outstanding OVs from 16-24 years old in various fields to visit their motherland.
