Volunteerism seems of less importance than ever. Even volunteer movement becomes weak and ill supported. Volunteer institutions themselves show ill-structured, difficult to adapt with new and changing environment in peacetime due to slow change. Most of the staff needs more training. Human resource is not mobilised and utilised properly.
Voluntary work becomes odd and out of tune.
This has driven away quite a few potential volunteers, leading the movement a further down step. Realising the importance of volunteerism and voluntary contribution to the work of defending and building the country, CPV, represented by the Politburo has passed a few resolutions through its general assemblies, giving closer watch and support towards social organisations whose activities include voluntary work, such as the Vietnam Youth Union, Vietnam Women's Union, the Red Cross National, etc. Those Resolutions really become the directing light and the basis for the involved organisations to put forwards their initiatives for the benefit of the nation. Volunteerism is now seen as an integral part of the socio-economic development process in Vietnam. A government, no matter how rich, needs voluntary movements raised by its citizens and youth in all aspect, first to awake the sleepy goodness, kindness, love and care for one another fellow-countrymen in each individual.
