Thirty youths from the Ship for South East Asia Youth Program (SSEAPP) paid a visit to Tuoi Tre Monday during which they took part in an interactive session on how to save the Earth from pollution.
The youth representatives suggested saving home electricity, limiting plastic bags, classifying and recycling garbage, and avoiding polluting products.
Participants from Japan, Thailand, and Singapore took turns recounting their home experience in recycling rubbish, using eco-friendly bags, limiting air-conditioner use, and resorting to public transports.
Save the Earth because it is the only home we have, they urged.
Robert Michael Nidea from the Philippines was happy to get to know more about youths from other countries. It is so exciting to have the opportunity to explore the Vietnamese culture first-hand, he told Tuoi Tre.
At the same time, other members were busy visiting universities and Youth Union clubs around the city.
On the evening of the same day, the participants were picked up by their host families to begin their home stay experience as a practical way to understand Vietnamese customs and culture first-hand.
SSEAYP is a young leadership training program between Japan and ten ASEAN countries that has been in operation since 1999. Starting from October every year, the ships set sail from Japan to Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, and arrive in Vietnam in early December.
