Student Volunteers Foundation (YSS) chairman Lee Lam Thye said that the Malaysian students, who are also YSS members, will contribute their talents and time towards projects and activities aimed at assisting local communities in need.

They will assist communities in Tan Kien commune in Binh Chanh district, Thai My commune in Cu Chi district, Nha Be district’s Hiep Phuoc commune, and Tan Thoi Hiep ward of District 12.
