The road to the production area must follow the stream, making travel difficult. The people of Coi village, Luong Minh commune (Tuong Duong) leveled the mountain to open a road to the production area, creating momentum for economic development.
Coi Village, Luong Minh Commune, Tuong Duong District is the main residence of the Khmu ethnic group. The entire village has 139 households, with 687 people. Most of the people here live on farming and forestry on the fields, but the road to the production areas is very difficult, having to follow the stream. There is no road to the production area, so people have to carry and carry agricultural products home with great difficulty.

Realizing that this is the right policy, the people enthusiastically support it.

Today we mobilized 1 person from each household to participate, but in reality there are many households that voluntarily participate with 2-3 people. For example, the families of Cut Van Phu, Lu Van Kham, Cut Van Luong... It is expected that this project will be implemented within 3 days, during which time we will try to complete the road about 2km long".

According to records, the atmosphere was very urgent, although no one told anyone, each person found a job suitable for themselves. While women leveled the road, men and boys "leveled the hills".

Mr. Luong shared: "Although I am old and weak, when I see my children and grandchildren paving the road, I also voluntarily participate. I participate with the purpose of encouraging my children and grandchildren and setting an example for them to follow."
