Units coordinated to help Mr. Hoi's family build a house. |
Nguyen Dinh Hoi's family is one of the poor households in the commune, with difficult economic conditions. Both he and his wife are in poor health and have no stable jobs. Hoi has just returned from medical treatment and is in debt. Currently, his family (2 parents and a small child) are living in a simple house, exposed to the sun and rain. When it rains, his family has to stay at a neighbor's house.
Faced with Mr. Hoi's situation, the Thanh Thuy Commune Fatherland Front Committee coordinated with the Youth Union - Youth Association of the commune to call on organizations, children in the commune, and benefactors to join hands to help Mr. Hoi's family build a level 4 house. Nearly 35 million VND has been mobilized.
