The commune's Youth Union Secretary picked up money and went on Facebook to find the person who dropped it to return it.

Late in the afternoon of a day in early August, Mr. Nguyen Hai Nam - Secretary of the Youth Union of Tan Huong commune (Tan Ky) was on his way home from work when he picked up a bag of money worth nearly 4 million VND on the Ho Chi Minh trail.

Apart from the above mentioned amount of 4 million VND, there was no identification document of the person who dropped it so it was impossible to contact the person who lost it to return it. Therefore, Mr. Nam handed it over to the Tan Ky District Police and posted the information on Facebook with the hope that the person who dropped it would know and contact him to claim it.

Thanks to widespread sharing on social networks, a few days later, the owner of the above amount of money, Ms. Nguyen Thi Hue - in Block 2, Tan Ky town, came to work with Tan Ky District Police and received the above amount of money.

According to Tan Ky District Youth Union, comrade Nam is an active Youth Union official in the locality and was elected Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union of Tan Huong commune from March 2014 until now.
