Promoting youth to build villages

(Baonghean) - With the awareness of building an increasingly prosperous homeland, the youth of Que Phong district actively implement the program "joining hands to build new rural areas". Thousands of young people in the district have joined hands to implement with the spirit of "wherever there is a need, there is youth, wherever there is difficulty, there is youth"...

Ms. La Ngoc Bac in Tam village, Muong Noc commune (Que Phong), along with hundreds of young people, hoes and shovels in hand, excitedly told funny stories to open the road to the village. Muong Noc is a model commune chosen by Que Phong district to direct the construction of new rural areas, so Muong Noc youth actively joined the villagers to build roads. During the campaign, the commune's youth union built more than 1 km of new road connecting 5 villages. During that process, over 300 union members participated, dug and filled over 1,500 m3 of earth and rock, cleared trees, cleaned the village...

At the same time, the youth of Quang Phong commune, a remote commune of Que Phong district, are also bustling with enthusiasm, enthusiastically opening the road to the village. In the past few days, when the sun has not yet risen, hundreds of youth union members have gathered in Quyn village, Pao 2 village, joining hands to open the road, many groups of union members have gone into the forest to find bamboo to rebuild fences for families who donated land... The backs of the green shirts are drenched in sweat, but everyone is highly determined because the road is wide and less bumpy. Secretary of the Quang Van Thieng commune union said: "This is a road that the district People's Committee is very interested in, so they support machinery and funds for the people and the Youth Union to build the road. Wherever the machines cut the mountain, the union members level it...".

Quang Phong commune delegation (Que Phong) opened the road from Quyn village to Pao 2 village.

Mr. Sam Trung Nghia, Head of Pao 2 village, Quang Phong commune happily shared: "Seeing the enthusiasm of the members, I and many other people also actively participated in building the road to help people travel more conveniently...". In 2 days, with the support of machinery, the youth of Quang Phong lowered the height of a 2.3km long road. People of Quyn, Pao 1, Pao 2 villages voluntarily donated land to widen the road.

Mr. Nguyen Minh Thuan, Secretary of the District Youth Union, enthusiastically shared: “The Que Phong District Party Committee is honored to be selected by the Provincial Party Committee as a model congress unit, so from the beginning of 2015, the District Youth Union launched a patriotic emulation movement among the youth, aiming to promote intelligence, strength, pioneering spirit, creativity, volunteerism, and awaken the great potential of the youth. The youth have made great efforts to contribute, organized many meaningful youth projects, creating profound highlights, contributing together with the Party Committee and ethnic people of the district to successfully organize the congress.
