HÀ NỘI — An American volleyball team played in a friendly match in Hà Nội yesterday.
Twenty-five of San Diego’s Exodus female junior athletes and coaches participated in a match with Vietnamese Đức Giang team, yesterday at Gia Lâm sports complex, 453 Nguyễn Đức Thuận Street, Gia Lâm district.
The match was part of a sports exchange programme to create friendship among young people of the two nations.
After the match, the Exodus team will visit Hạ Long Bay to study environmental protection efforts there and other cultural destinations like the Temple of Literature, the Museum of Ethnology and KOTO restaurant, which trains at-risk children in the hospitality trade.
After Viet Nam, the team will visit Luang Prabang, Laos and join exchange programmes there.
This December, some Vietnamese and Laos volleyball teams, sponsored by the US Department of State, will travel to San Diego to play local teams and explore cultural destinations there.
This exchange programme is organised by San Diego City Council (SDCC) and the US National Ability Center (NAC).
The Exodus volleyball team was formed to provide qualified training courses for at-risk young people. The programme is an opportunity for young female athletes from different social and cultural foundations to overcome differences, explore the world and become young ambassadors of the US. — VNS
