Young people offer incense to commemorate Hung Kings

A delegation of overseas Vietnamese students and young people returned to their ancestral land during Vietnam Summer Camp 2011, reported the State Commission on Overseas Vietnamese.
The students were very moved by the legends of the Hung Kings and offered incense at temples for the Hung Kings’.
This is one of the activities to teach children more about the traditions of paying debts of gratitude, upholding patriotic spirit and national pride and preserving cultural identity.
The delegation also visited the Hung Kings Museum where valuable objects from the Van Lang era are preserved and they were introduced to the legends of Hung Kings and the glorious history of the nation.
26 delegates from 26 nations and territories around the globe also attended this year’s summer camp. Dr Nguyen Thanh Son, deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, planted a tree at the Hung Temple relics to remind young overseas Vietnamese to make further contributions to their ancestral roots.
Later in the day, the delegation had an exchange with young people in Phu Tho province.
