(Baonghean.vn) - Ban Hat is a poor village in Yen Tinh commune, Tuong Duong district. Although life is still very difficult, people still voluntarily donate land, crops, money and labor days to concrete the roads inside the village.

| Hat village is home to the Thai ethnic group, currently the village has 218 households with 850 people. Previously, the 7 internal roads in the village were all small, steep, muddy, and slippery in the rainy season, making it difficult for people to travel. In the photo: A corner of Hat village. |

| After the Party Cell and the Village Management Board proposed the policy of building concrete roads within the village, every family agreed to support it. In addition to contributing labor, the people here also donated land, crops, money and labor days to concrete all 7 roads within the village. |
 |
| Cement was provided by the State, while sand and gravel were voluntarily contributed by the people. In addition, some households also donated land and crops to build the road. |
 |
Due to the steep terrain, sand and gravel after being purchased are only gathered at the foot of the slope. Then people have to put them in buckets to carry them to the concrete pouring location. Seeing that road construction was very necessary, every household enthusiastically participated, many with 2-3 people. Mrs. Kha Thi Khuyen (1944) shared: “I am old and cannot carry people up the steep slope anymore, but I still come here to help the children shovel sand and gravel into the basket. |
 |
| While women carried sand and gravel, men mixed and poured concrete on the roadbed. Each person did their own job, no one told anyone, but everyone had the responsibility to quickly complete their work. |
 |
| Although the work is a bit hard, everyone is happy to contribute to making the village more spacious. Mr. Luong Van May - Head of Hat village, Yen Tinh commune said: "The whole village has 7 roads, in 2018 we have deployed concrete pouring on 4 roads. These days, we are mobilizing people to continue to contribute labor and money to complete the remaining 3 roads. Counting the whole year of 2018 up to this point, people have contributed nearly 2,000 working days to concrete the roads in the village. Mr. May added. |
