Some typical projects include: building 3 internal roads with a cost of more than 2 billion VND; building a welcome gate system, village gate; installing a solar-powered lighting system; building rural concrete roads; installing security camera systems at schools... worth 4.5 billion VND. Most of which are contributed by the people and called for socialization from businesses, philanthropists and children from the homeland who work far away.

A typical example is Hoa Son commune, a unique locality with both ethnic minorities and religious people, and whose people's lives are not as prosperous as other localities, but it has actively contributed to building public works and beautifying residential areas to be "green, clean, beautiful, bright, and friendly".

Accordingly, 27 projects have been registered by villages, hamlets, agencies and organizations with a budget of over 10 billion VND, of which people contributed over 2.7 billion VND.

“There are hamlets that, within just 1 month, have mobilized over 500 million VND to build a football field (hamlet 1), or there are hamlets where people contributed over 1.5 billion VND to complete the drainage project (hamlet 4), there are hamlets that called on benefactors to support the entire project, and people did not have to contribute any more money. The most important thing is that the emulation movement has aroused the people's strength, people unanimously agreed to contribute to build public works that they are the direct beneficiaries; village and hamlet officials are also not afraid to "ask" benefactors and businesses for support, to beautify their homeland; and children from the homeland who work far away, businesses are also willing to contribute their efforts and money to beautify the appearance of their homeland", said Mr. Phan Van Phong - Vice Chairman of Hoa Son Commune People's Committee.
