"Youth meter garden" in Lien Hong

(Baonghean) -How to find a source of income for the activities of a youth union is always a difficult question, not always able to find a solution? However, from the youth garden, the Thai Ban Lien Hong Ethnic Youth Union has found that solution.

To "connect" all the youth union members in the branch together, to bring the youth union movement to a steady development, after many nights of thinking, Mr. Ngan Van Tam - Secretary of the Lien Hong Youth Union, Cam Lam Commune (Con Cuong) proposed to the Executive Committee of the branch and advised the Party Committee, the Village Management Board on the model of receiving and taking care of the "Youth Garden" in the village.

After careful discussion and receiving support and high consensus from the Executive Committee, he discussed with the Party cell committee and the Village Management Board to register for implementation. Lien Hong Youth Union has 75 youth union members, 100% of whom are Thai ethnic people. Tam discussed with the Executive Committee to divide into groups that will take turns performing tasks: checking, repairing fences, clearing land to take care of the garden...

At first, the branch encountered many difficulties, but with the youth strength and the solidarity of all the members in the branch, the receiving and caring model has stabilized and brought about results.

With the fund collected from selling meters of nearly 11 million VND each year, the activities of the Youth Union branch have been maintained regularly. Especially through the activities, the members of the Youth Union branch have become closer and understand each other better, the atmosphere of the Youth Union branch has also become more exciting. With this amount of money, in addition to spending on activities, the Executive Committee of the Youth Union branch has reserved a part to organize extracurricular activities, exchange and learning activities for youth union members and help poor and disadvantaged youth union members; organize activities to give gifts to policy families, poor students who overcome difficulties to celebrate the major holidays of the homeland and the country.

In addition to the model and activities of receiving and taking care of the "Youth Garden" which were enthusiastically responded to by the Youth Union members, the Executive Committee of the Youth Union also boldly launched many new emulation movements such as: Joining the "Youth Shock Force" team, the "Youth Self-Management" team to coordinate with the security force in guarding to preserve common property. The Youth Union also regularly advises the Party Committee and the village government, mobilizing the Youth Union members to undertake projects and youth work, contributing to the implementation of the political tasks of the village and raising funds for the Youth Union members' activities.

With the results achieved, for many years in a row, Lien Hong Youth Union has been recognized and commended by the higher-level Youth Union as a youth union that has excellently completed its tasks in the Youth Union activities and youth movements for many years in a row. The achievements from the model as well as the activities of the youth union are being deployed by the Youth Union organizations in the district and mobilizing other youth unions to volunteer to implement.

Coming to Lien Hong today, we see the village roads are clean and beautiful, the village has many new tiled houses. Today, Lien Hong youths are no longer drunk or gambling, everyone is focused on doing their jobs, security and order are guaranteed. Lien Hong is on the rise, from "The Garden of Youth", Mr. Ngan Vinh - Party cell secretary opened his heart to us like that...
