Place of creation: UNISFA Mission in Abyei/South Sudan, Sudan

This work captures a warm and humane moment in Abyei parish/South Sudan, where police officers and staff of the Vietnamese Engineer Corps No. 3 are carrying out a peacekeeping mission. In the photo, a police officer in the Vietnamese peacekeeping team at the UNISFA Mission, with a bright smile and affectionate eyes, is enthusiastically instructing local children to fold and play with paper airplanes. Around him, children with curious and eager eyes are attentively following his every move. This simple but meaningful action not only brings joy to the children, but also symbolizes the friendship, care and compassion that the Vietnamese "blue beret" soldiers have for the people here. The photo not only demonstrates the professionalism and responsibility of the Vietnamese peacekeeping force, but also spreads the message of kindness, sharing and hope for a bright, peaceful future for children around the world. That is the beauty of Vietnam in a noble mission, leaving a beautiful mark in the hearts of international friends.
