(Baonghean.vn) - On September 16, Do Luong District Youth Union launched a youth volunteer program, going to Minh Son and Xuan Son communes to help local people harvest rice after the storm.
 |
From early morning, nearly 100 youth union members from 16 grassroots units in the district were present in the fields of Minh Son and Xuan Son communes to harvest rice with the people. According to the plan, the District Union will initiate for 1 day, after that the grassroots units will continue to help farmers in the area. |
 |
After the storm, the demand for rice harvesting labor from the people here is quite high. The youth volunteer team advocates helping families with single-parent, poor, and sick circumstances first, focusing on harvesting fields that have fallen or been flooded. |
 |
The rice here is all harvested with sickles, because most of it has fallen on the fields and is still swirling around. |

Harvesting rice after the storm, although hard, smiles are still bright on pretty faces. |
 |
Many Do Luong District Youth Union officials were present in the volunteer team, working "responsibly" like real farmers. Some friends, although not very familiar with farming work, still participated enthusiastically. |

Harvesting fallen rice is quite hard, transporting rice from the field to the shore is equally hard. |

The first bundles of rice have been brought to the main road, waiting for families to bring their vehicles to take them home. Ms. Nguyen Thi Song (Hamlet 6, Minh Son Commune) happily said: "People here are struggling with the rice that has fallen after the storm, now that there are young volunteers coming to help harvest, I am extremely excited." |
