The affection of the club of seriously ill and wounded soldiers in Quynh Luu district

The Quynh Luu District Club of seriously ill and disabled soldiers was established in 1995 with the aim of gathering disabled and sick soldiers with a 1/4 disability and a lifetime disability of 81% or more to help each other overcome their circumstances, develop the economy, build happy families and live exemplary lives in the community.

At the beginning, the club had only 13 members. Most of the members at that time felt very desperate because they could not help their families much and were a burden to their wives and children. However, through the activities at the club, the members were able to get closer, share difficulties, express their thoughts and aspirations, and learn more examples of overcoming difficulties. Gradually, the seriously wounded soldiers in the club regained their spirit and determination to overcome difficulties and illnesses. The economic development movement was of interest to the club to create a prosperous and stable life for the members. Although the support capital was not large, with the diligence and hard work of the seriously wounded soldiers, many examples were learned and followed by the members, such as the example of wounded soldier Cao Danh Kieu in Quynh Minh, although he had both legs amputated, he still developed a vegetable production model with his wife and children for an income of 80-100 million VND/year. Disabled soldiers Pham Van Thang in Quynh Ba, Nguyen Dinh Tho in Quynh Lam, Hoang Van Vi in Quynh Lien... have all built economic models with incomes of 50-100 million VND/year. Currently, the number of rich households in the Club accounts for 34%, well-off households reach 66%, average households are only 14%, there are no poor households. Along with taking care of material life, the Club also regularly visits and encourages members in times of difficulty, illness, disease, and joy, and gives gifts to members' children who have overcome difficulties to study well and become successful. With these meaningful activities, the Club has so far attracted nearly 40 seriously disabled soldiers to participate.

The club also actively participates in social activities, supports floods and storms, helps seriously wounded and sick soldiers in other districts and provinces facing difficulties to partly encourage and share the post-war pain, helping wounded and sick soldiers to be more confident in life.
