85 years on: Ho Chi Minh Vanguard Children's Union grows with the nation
The Ho Chi Minh Vanguard Children's Union was founded on May 15, 1941, in Pac Bo, a revolutionary base in the northern province of Cao Bang, under the leadership of President Ho Chi Minh. Over the past 85 years, it has served not only as a common home for millions of members, but also as a nurturing environment for educating and inspiring revolutionary ideals, and fostering the aspirations of generations of Vietnamese children.
