Crossing winding, twisting roads surrounded all year round by range upon range of mountains, a 45-seat coach carried our Y Tam volunteer team back to the villagers of the Bù Gia Mập border area in Bình Phước under the full moon of the 8th lunar month.

We gathered together the many Y Tam hearts swelling with enthusiasm and passion for volunteering, and together we created a truly warm and meaningful Mid-Autumn Festival for the ethnic minority children here.

Thanks to that, the program succeeded beyond our expectations. The children truly enjoyed a real Mid-Autumn Festival day, with games, a lantern procession, a campfire, music and performances…. More than 300 gift packs reached the children amid great excitement and joy, and each full scholarship was placed directly into the students' hands, bringing them overflowing happiness.
