Nghe An: Locals contribute labor and money to build concrete roads
(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 were 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 respond. In addition to contributing labor, the people here also donated land, crops, money and labor days to concrete all 7 roads within the village. |
 |
| The cement was provided by the government, and the sand and gravel were contributed voluntarily by the people. In addition, some households also donated land and crops to build the road. |
 |
Due to the steep terrain, sand and gravel are only gathered at the foot of the slope after being purchased. 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 the children up the steep slope anymore, but I still come here to help the children scoop sand and gravel into the basket. |
 |
| While women carried sand and gravel, men mixed and poured concrete for the roadbed. Each person had 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 contributing 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 concretize the roads within the village," Mr. May added. |
