Secretary and village chief livestream with workers far from home

Pioneer in economic development

Mr. Pham Van Tien - Chief of Lam Hoi village, always remembers the memory of the gathering for the villagers to talk directly via Facebook. Just a few short minutes of chatting together through the screen, but the workers far from home and their families were extremely moved, and especially grateful for the care of the village chief. Many days later, the workers in Japan continued to text "elder brother" Pham Van Tien to tell about the joy of meeting their relatives, about the warmth that the Party Committee and government gave to them and their families.

Showing us the confidences of Lam Hoi village children through social networks Facebook and Zalo, village chief Pham Van Tien smiled proudly when the children had stable jobs and a fairly high income to send home to their families.

With the policy of promoting labor export that Quy Chau district has directed towards in the past few years, Lam Hoi village chief Pham Van Tien realized that this is a suitable direction for Lam Hoi villagers. Therefore, he discussed with the local Party Committee and government to step up direction and propaganda for his children to go to work abroad. In the process of mobilizing propaganda and directly supporting people to complete export procedures, village chief Pham Van Tien realized that there should be an organization to support people in this work.

With his experience and enthusiasm, he has gradually established a business to best support local workers in completing procedures and studying to meet labor export requirements. "In fact, with the enthusiasm of the village chief, many children of Lam Hoi as well as Chau Hoi commune have been able to go abroad to work, effectively contributing to the socio-economic development of the locality" - Mr. Lo Van Ton - Deputy Secretary of Chau Hoi commune Party Committee said.

Up to now, with the support of authorities at all levels, Chau Hoi commune and Lam Hoi village have had 15 cases of labor export and some have paid off the initial loan debt and regularly sent money back to their families.

Born in 1980, Mr. Pham Van Tien was raised by the villagers.

Lam Hoi was elected as the village chief by the trust, not only because of his dedication and enthusiasm in work and daily life, but also because he is an example of effective economic development. Lam Hoi is a village with a fairly large area, more than 1,000 people, 286 households living on many different occupations, mainly trading services and raising livestock and poultry. Although he belongs to the 8X generation, Mr. Pham Van Tien has been the village chief for over 5 years, and for the same amount of time he has devoted himself to building local movements, especially economic development, supporting local children to go abroad to work.

Not only the village chief, Lam Hoi people also have affection and admiration for Party Cell Secretary Hoang The Dieu. 2018 is the year Mr. Hoang The Dieu took on the role of Party Cell Secretary for the 4th term. Besides his dedication to his work, Lam Hoi Party Cell Secretary is also a pioneer in economic development with a farm that sometimes maintains a herd of 4-5 cows, 50 pigs, several hundred chickens and a large garden area to grow acacia and sugarcane.

Talking about livestock farming and economic development, Mr. Hoang The Dieu said: As a retired state official, he was elected by the people as the Party cell secretary, so he always tries to set an example for people to follow, especially in economic development. Therefore, before each policy on livestock farming and cultivation, he and his family are always the first to implement it, both to increase income and to have a basis for propaganda and mobilizing people to care for economic development. Up to now, his family has a spacious and comfortable house, and his children have studied well.

Building a strong mass movement

Lam Hoi is the first village of Chau Hoi commune and the third village of Quy Chau district to complete the criteria for new rural construction at the end of 2017. This result was achieved thanks to the efforts of the entire political system of Lam Hoi village, Chau Hoi commune and the local people, including the important role of the secretary and village chief. From being the pioneers in economic development, the secretary and village chief themselves have always been the pioneers in contributing and supporting collective activities, in mobilizing socialization to build villages and develop cultural and artistic movements of the people, especially in contributing to the construction of new rural areas.

Presently, Lam Hoi village has concreted more than 99% of the inner-village roads, installed nearly 4km of lighting system, and built a standard stadium grandstand.

In addition to contributing funds to build public works serving the community, Lam Hoi villagers are also united and enthusiastic in participating in cultural and artistic activities, always supporting the policies and work that the secretary and village chief direct, guide and mobilize. That is the establishment of a folk song club, Vi Giam and 4 sports clubs including men's and women's volleyball, football and badminton.

Village chief Pham Van Tien said: “In addition to calling for support from a number of individuals and businesses in the area, all socialized funds to build works and create funds for group activities are voluntarily contributed by villagers and enthusiastically participated in all group activities. In most of the art and sports competitions organized by Chau Hoi commune and Quy Chau district, Lam Hoi village teams won first and second prizes.”

In addition to strongly developing mass movements, Lam Hoi village is also a locality that maintains an effective education promotion movement. Deputy Secretary of Chau Hoi Commune Party Committee Lo Van Ton said that Lam Hoi village has maintained a regularly operating Education Promotion Fund for more than 20 years, contributing significantly to motivating and encouraging children to study and become successful.

According to the Secretary of the Party Cell Hoang The Dieu, valuing the education of children has become a tradition of the Party Cell and the people of Lam Hoi village with the view of taking education as a solid path to establish a career. Encouraging learning and talent is also a regular topic in Party Cell meetings and policies on encouraging learning are enthusiastically supported by cadres, Party members and people.

Therefore, every year, on holidays and Tet, especially the Mid-Autumn Festival, the village Party Committee and the village management board regularly give scholarships and gifts to students who are good students; give bicycles, clothes, and school supplies to poor students who overcome difficulties and study well. In 2017 alone, the Party Committee and the village executive board, directly led by the secretary and village chief, mobilized people and benefactors to support nearly 17 million VND to give 7 bicycles and clothes to children of poor households who study well.

On the occasion of the Lunar New Year of Mau Tuat, children of Lam Hoi village working abroad and local people donated more than 16 million VND to buy musical instruments and costumes to prepare for the establishment of the village's traditional musical instrument team.

"Selecting good cadres helps build a strong movement that Lam Hoi village is increasingly thriving in economic and cultural development, moving towards a prosperous, joyful, and united life, and this is also the "model" we are trying to replicate throughout the commune" - Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee Lo Van Ton happily said.
