(Baonghean.vn) - Although Tet is near, the work of 12 families of team members in the Youth Village in the border area of Tam Hop commune (Tuong Duong) is still taking place quietly. In the bitter cold, from early morning they went to the garden to plant vegetables and take care of newly planted trees. The team members hurriedly built houses to welcome the first Tet in their new home.
 |
| Tam Hop Youth Volunteer Village under the Youth Volunteer Force of Nghe An province was established under Decision No. 350 of the Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union on October 18, 2013. The unit is located in Huoi Son village (Tam Hop commune). The immediate goal of the village is to plant about 320 hectares of Shan tea, help people in the project area grow clean vegetables, rice, and protect upstream protective forests. The project will ensure stable jobs for 70 households of village members and local people. |
 |
| Shan snow tea has become a specialty of the Nghe An Youth Volunteer Force, in areas such as Huoi Tu, Na Ngoi (Ky Son). Tam Hop Youth Volunteer Village currently has 5 hectares of this plant. Currently, the village's team members are continuing to grow seedlings to provide to local people to expand the area. |
 |
| In early 2016, passion fruit trees were planted experimentally in this youth village. |
 |
| Currently there are only the first 100 trees, but according to the village team members, the soil of Tam Hop commune can be suitable for this tree variety which is considered to have high economic efficiency. |
 |
| Black chickens and black pigs are two native breeds chosen by the cadres and members of the Youth Union in Tam Hop as the main livestock. There are currently hundreds of black pigs on the farm. Many batches of chickens have been sold to the market and provided to local people in the project area. |
 |
| Vegetables are an indispensable crop in this village. Here, vegetables not only serve the needs of the team members, but are also provided by soldiers to the people in the two villages of Huoi Son and Pha Lom. The vegetable gardens are also a place for sightseeing and learning for the local people. |
 |
| The life of the Youth Volunteers here is like a regular clock. Get up at 6am to go to the garden, have lunch at 11:30am. Then work continues from 1:30pm. |
 |
| Ms. Kha Thi Nham is currently the youngest female team member in this special village. The agricultural engineer also proves to be very resourceful in the kitchen. |
 |
| Currently, there are 12 team members who are young families from Huoi San village who have come to join the village. This area has 7 families inside the village management office. Another group of 5 families is outside, 3km from the center of Huoi Son village. |
 |
| Mr. Vu Ba Song was the first team member to move to the new village 4 months ago. Each family that joined the village was given 30 million VND to move and build a house. In addition, the members were also supported to reclaim rice fields, plants, and animal breeds. |
 |
| A resident of Huoi Son village helps youth village residents build houses. |
 |
| During the 2016 Lunar New Year, 12 new team members will be welcomed to the TNLN village. It is expected that within the next 5 years, the remaining 70 team member households of the village will move in. |
