The effectiveness of the '24-hour experience' model

"3 together" with people in difficult areas

Her husband died early, leaving her family without a single person, so Lo Thi Ha (born in 1978), residing in Vuc village, Chau Ly commune (Quy Hop), had to take care of her elderly mother and young children alone. For many years, her family lived together in a dilapidated wooden house, less than 10m wide.²The money she earned from working in the fields was only enough to cover her daily meals. Therefore, Ms. Ha never dared to dream of having a new house.

With the help of the Youth Union of Quy Hop District Police, Ms. Ha's family was able to live in a new, spacious house.

“I never dared to dream of having a new house, but now I have a solid house with a tight roof and a durable bottom. My family is very grateful to the officers and soldiers of the district police. From now on, my children and I will not have to worry about having to stay at a neighbor's house when it rains heavily or the wind is strong,” Ms. Lo Thi Dinh (Ms. Ha's mother) happily shared.

It is known that the District Police Youth Union mobilized to build a new house for Ms. Ha's family with an area of ​​55m2.², total cost 150 million VND. Of which, officers and soldiers of Quy Hop District Police contributed 50 million VND.

Like Mrs. Dinh's family, Mr. Sam Van Dung's family (residing in Phay village, Chau Hong commune, Quy Hop district) no longer has to worry about storms. With all his respect, Mr. Dung expressed through a letter to the officers and soldiers of Quy Hop district police: "Having a solid and spacious house is what I have always wished for, but due to difficult circumstances and frequent illness, I could not have it. But now, my lifelong dream has come true. The house is not only a place to shelter from the rain and sun, but also gives me the confidence to escape poverty."

Above are just 2 of the many programs that the Youth Union of Quy Hop District Police has implemented in the past 2 years.

Quy Hop is a mountainous district with 99/214 villages, hamlets and communes in particular difficulties, so the authorities of Quy Hop district at all levels always determine to accompany people to stabilize their lives, reduce poverty sustainably, thereby promoting socio-economic development, especially in remote areas.

From that common goal, in June 2022, the Youth Union of Quy Hop District Police advised the Party Committee and leaders of the District Police to build and deploy the "24-hour experience" model associated with a series of activities to help households in difficult circumstances in the area.

Accordingly, union members and young people wearing police uniforms experienced activities of "eating, living and working together" with local people, such as helping people harvest rice, building roads within the village, supporting single-parent households to repair and clean their houses, etc.

Not only that, as part of the series of activities associated with the "24-hour experience" model, the Youth Union and Youth Police of Quy Hop District have joined hands to implement a community support model for the first quarter. Specifically, coordinating with local authorities and the Commune Police force to review, evaluate and select households in difficult circumstances, poor households, and policy families to support, build new or repair houses or support livelihood models...

Within 2 years, the District Youth Union has mobilized socialized resources and working days of union members and youth to build 7 gratitude houses, each worth 70 million VND; built 1 bridge worth 250 million VND; repaired 4 houses, 4 barns and provided 50 breeding animals (cows, goats, pigs); supported the construction of more than 500 meters of concrete roads; dredged more than 400 meters of intra-field canals; gave gifts to 10 policy households, 15 students with difficult circumstances who have excelled in their studies, with a total value of activities of more than 1.2 billion VND.

Replicating the movement "All people protect national security"

Right from the first days of building the "24-hour experience" model, the Youth Union of Quy Hop District Police has determined not only to carry out social and charitable activities to contribute to stabilizing the lives of local people but also to build each cadre into a factor in propagating and disseminating the law, in order to raise people's awareness, thereby launching the movement "All people protect national security".

In addition, the Youth Union of Quy Hop District Police has also proactively coordinated with the Commune Police force to deploy measures to manage the area and subjects, contributing to effectively combating all types of crimes and law violations, notably organizing 215 armed patrols. Through patrol work, 13 cases and 16 subjects were promptly discovered and arrested for illegal possession and use of firecrackers, 8.5 kg of homemade firecrackers were seized; 3 cases and 13 subjects were discovered for gambling; 7 cases and 9 subjects were involved in drugs, 0.15 grams of heroin was seized.

Thanks to that, the security and order situation in the areas where the model was deployed gradually stabilized, without conflicts or contradictions among the people; no complicated security and order situations or hot spots were created, contributing to building the movement "All people protect national security" right at the grassroots level.

At the conference to review 2 years of implementing the model, Major General Trang A Tua - Director of the Department of Building the Movement to Protect National Security (Ministry of Public Security) emphasized: The skillful mass mobilization work of the police force in general as well as the "24-hour experience" model of Quy Hop District Police in particular, has contributed to ensuring social order and safety in the area; supporting and helping people stabilize their lives.
