On this occasion, the Central VWU launched an SMS campaign aimed at raising funds to build at least 130 livelihood models valued $ 5,500 in total for women in border areas within the program "Supporting women in border areas”. Each text message sent out will cost the handphone user VND 20,000 (nearly $1) and the money will be sent to the fund.

Within the framework of the Congress program, the delegates experienced and enjoyed the cultural performance “The Quintessence of Tonkin’ in Hanoi outskirt. With many unique repertoires imbued with traditional folklore, performed in a modern and creative style, the show strongly impressed the delegates with the history and culture of the Red River Delta - cultural center of the North of Vietnam.

Right after the Congress conclusion, instead of cultural performances as usual, VWU called on its staff and members nationwide to plant trees to celebrate the Congress's success. The target is to plant at least 130,000 trees on this occasion.
On the morning of March 12, the VWU in collaboration with the General Political Department (Ministry of National Defense) launching the tree planting festival at Hai Ba Trung Temple (Me Linh, Hanoi).
