Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work

In Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, several local organizations began offering free swimming lessons to children to equip them with survival skills and provide healthy summer activities.

Students and physical education teachers volunteered their time to create a safe and enriching summer for young people. These lessons focus on building health through everyday choices, rather than waiting until someone becomes ill.

The initiative comes as part of the seventh “Spreading Positive Energy” contest in 2026, themed “Healthy Today, Strong Tomorrow.” Organizers believe a healthy body results from small, consistent decisions. Additionally, Tuoi Tre Online newspaper launched Tuoi Tre Sao, a special version of its website for members. This ad-free platform offers legal and health advice, an electronic newspaper, and live coverage of current events. Members can support content creators and access exclusive benefits by contributing “Sao,” a points-based system.

Tuoi Tre newspaper developed Tuoi Tre Sao to improve content quality and increase engagement with its readers, hoping to provide a new and positive experience for the online community.
