Xieng My people (Tuong Duong) happily welcome breeding cows to their village.

The atmosphere in Phay village today is different from every other day. The roads and alleys are swept and cleaned. Everyone is happy because this year their village was chosen by the commune to receive breeding cows from Nghe An Newspaper. From early morning, people gathered happily at the village community cultural house, waiting to receive breeding cows.

This time, Nghe An Newspaper supported giving 3 breeding cows to 3 poor households: the families of Tinh Van Lu, Luong Van Thenh and Lo Van Kiem with a total value of nearly 50 million VND.

At the awarding ceremony, Comrade Pham Thi Hong Toan - Member of the Provincial Party Committee, Editor-in-Chief of Nghe An Newspaper shared: The entire funding to support the purchase of breeding cows to give to the people this time was contributed by the cadres, reporters and staff of Nghe An Newspaper. The newspaper sent cadres to survey and select quality breeding cows to give to the people; with the hope that poor households receiving breeding cows will have the conditions to develop production, increase income, improve their lives and strive to become rich legitimately in their homeland.

Mr. Luong Van Thenh (one of three poor households receiving breeding cows this time) shared: "Knowing about the breeding cow donation program supported by Nghe An Newspaper in our commune for the past 7 years, I kept waiting, hoping that Ban Phay would be selected to receive cows and finally this year my wish came true.

Two months ago, the commune officials announced that my family was lucky enough to be chosen to receive a cow. My husband and I were very happy and prepared to build a barn to wait for the day the cow arrived. And today, we are even happier because I won the lottery and won a pregnant cow, so we will soon transfer the cow to another household to raise; sharing the opportunity for local people to develop their economy and improve their lives."
