Enthusiastic Union cadres

In Hung Trung commune (Hung Nguyen), Mr. Hoang Nghia Lam (born in 1987) is known as a dynamic and enthusiastic Youth Union Secretary who always closely follows and is attached to the youth movement. After finishing high school, Lam chose to live and work in his homeland, doing business and working in production with his family, relatives and friends.

Currently, he and his wife own a grocery store and open a service providing electricity and water equipment to serve people in the area. Closely attached to the village, hometown and youth movement, from 2012 to present, Hoang Nghia Lam has been continuously elected as Secretary of Youth Union Branch 1, Hung Trung Commune. As a locality with a majority of Catholics, with a high sense of responsibility for Youth Union work, he has propagated, mobilized and gathered 100% of union members and youth to participate in activities.

Besides, he always cares about the children's movement, every summer he organizes activities, lets the children practice arts, physical education - sports, maintain a healthy lifestyle, stay away from social evils. To promote the movement, he and his wife spend a few million dong of their own money each year to buy incentives for the children. Therefore, every year, the youth movement of Hamlet 1 is always ranked among the top in the whole commune.

Currently, in addition to his position as Secretary of the Youth Union, Hoang Nghia Lam is also the Head of the Savings and Loan Group managed by the Youth Union with a large outstanding debt. With his efforts and close attention to work, he has promoted and mobilized people to not let overdue debt arise, and the interest rate is always at the lowest level compared to other groups in the commune. Thanks to that, many youth union members have effectively promoted loan capital to increase income, improve their lives and develop their family economy.

With his contributions to the local youth movement, in 2018, Hoang Nghia Lam was given the opportunity by the Party Committee and the Youth Union of Hung Trung commune to participate in studying Party sympathy. He shared: “I will continue to strive, cultivate and train to be worthy of being a member of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union, always living responsibly towards myself, my family and society; contributing my youth to build my homeland to become more and more innovative, civilized and prosperous”.

Leading the movement to establish a career

If Hoang Nghia Lam is an enthusiastic Youth Union cadre, Nguyen Quang Duong (born in 1990) in Hoa Tho hamlet, Hien Son commune (Do Luong) is a typical example of a young Catholic in the movement to establish a career.

Unlike many of his peers, Duong did not choose to go to far away places to make a living but decided to stay in his hometown to start a business. He realized that his hometown not only had advantages in rice cultivation but also had potential for livestock development and farming. Moreover, being near U market (Dai Son commune) - the largest cattle market in the province, consuming this product was very easy and convenient.

With that in mind, Nguyen Quang Duong decided to borrow capital and rent 2,000 m²land to build a farm, first he bought buffaloes to graze. His method was to go all over the province to buy skinny, ugly buffaloes at low prices to fatten them up. After a while of being cared for, the buffaloes became fatter and more beautiful, then he brought them to sell at the U market at a price quite a bit higher than the initial capital.

His herd of buffaloes sometimes numbered up to dozens. The work was hard and busy, but in return, he earned a high income, averaging over 70 million VND per year. Not to mention the income from raising chickens, ducks, fish ponds and gardens. Following his example, some young people in Hien Son have also invested capital to buy buffaloes and cows to fatten for sale, and have initially brought about economic benefits.

Besides taking care of economic development, Nguyen Quang Duong always actively participates in the activities and movements of the Youth Union, especially the arts and sports movements. He said: "I always determine to be a good example, not only focusing on economic activities but also spending time in union activities, taking the lead in activities, and making efforts to contribute to community life."

Talented female student won many awards
