PTSC M C Youth Union Equips Children with Essential First Aid Skills During Summer 2026

In the vibrant atmosphere of the 2026 Action Month for Children, the Youth Union of PTSC M C successfully organized a first aid training program for over 150 children who are dependents of company employees. This meaningful initiative contributes to spreading the image of dynamic and responsible Petrovietnam youth, standing in solidarity with the families of workers.

Background and Significance of the Program

The 2026 Action Month for Children was organized under the theme "Safety for Children - Happiness for Families," aiming to raise awareness about protecting, caring for, and educating children, while simultaneously reducing accidents and injuries among them. In this context, the PTSC M C Youth Union promptly implemented the first aid training program for children, helping them acquire essential knowledge and skills to protect themselves and assist others in emergency situations.

About the Organizing Unit

PTSC M C (Petrovietnam Technical Services Corporation Central) is a member company of the Vietnam Oil and Gas Group (Petrovietnam). With a long-standing tradition in the oil and gas industry, the company not only focuses on business operations but also consistently cares about the lives of its employees and social activities. The PTSC M C Youth Union is one of the most active and enthusiastic mass organizations in youth movements, particularly in community-oriented activities.

Number and Participants

The program attracted the participation of over 150 children who are dependents of company employees. The participants ranged in age from 8 to 15 and were on summer break. This age group begins to develop awareness and the ability to absorb basic first aid knowledge while being able to apply these skills in daily life.

Specific Activities and Content of the Program

The training program was designed with rich, practical, and easy-to-understand content suitable for the children's age group. The main activities included:

• Introduction to basic first aid knowledge: Common emergency situations for children, how to recognize and provide initial treatment.
• Bleeding control techniques: Teaching children how to control bleeding using simple methods when injured.
• Burn treatment: How to provide first aid for minor and severe burns.
• Handling choking: The Heimlich technique and basic first aid maneuvers for choking incidents.
• Traffic safety: Traffic safety rules, especially for children.
• Hands-on practice: Children directly practiced first aid techniques under the guidance of experts.

The program was held at the company's conference hall with the participation of experienced medical professionals and first aid experts. Activities were designed in an interactive, game-based format to help children easily absorb and remember the knowledge.

Reactions and Assessments from Stakeholders

Mr. Nguyen Van A, Secretary of the PTSC M C Youth Union, stated: "We are very pleased that the program has received enthusiastic response from the children and parents. This is not only an activity to respond to the Action Month for Children, but also an effort by PTSC youth to accompany the families of workers. We believe that the first aid skills the children have acquired will benefit them in life and become an important asset for their future."

Ms. Thi B. Tran, a parent whose child participated in the program, shared: "I am very grateful that the company organized such a meaningful activity. My child came home excited, telling me about what they learned and even demonstrating for the whole family. I feel more secure knowing that my child has basic skills to protect themselves and help others when needed."

The participating children were also very enthusiastic. Le Van C, 12 years old, shared: "I learned many interesting things. I know how to handle injuries, burns, and even choking. I will try to remember these things so I can help friends and family when needed."

Significance and Results of the Program

The first aid training program for children not only helped them acquire essential knowledge and skills but also contributed to raising self-protection awareness and reducing accidents in the community. This is also a practical activity of PTSC Petrovietnam youth in demonstrating social responsibility, spreading the image of dynamic, creative, and compassionate oil and gas workers.

Additionally, the program provided an opportunity for children to have a meaningful and beneficial summer vacation, rather than just engaging in ordinary recreational activities. The children learned, exchanged ideas, and developed important soft skills.

Future Plans

The PTSC M C Youth Union announced that it will continue to maintain and develop this program as an annual activity, while expanding its scale to reach more children who are dependents of company employees. In the coming time, the unit will also coordinate with local medical organizations to organize advanced training sessions and outdoor practical activities to help children better consolidate and apply the knowledge they have learned.

The program concluded successfully, leaving many positive impressions and valuable lessons for the participating children. This is truly a meaningful activity that embodies the spirit of "a good leaf protects a torn leaf" of the Vietnamese oil and gas worker community, while contributing to building a healthy, confident, and socially responsible younger generation.
