Youth Month and activities towards the people in the highlands of Nghe An

There were drops of sweat, hardships and difficulties, but the results were joy, happiness and trust from the local people. Hundreds of youth projects were implemented in the past month, a vivid proof of the enthusiasm and youthfulness of Nghe An youth union members in the journey of building their homeland and country.

Located at the foot of Pu Nong Chang hill, Vang Mon village, Tam Hop commune, Tuong Duong district is home to 79 Thai ethnic households. In recent days, the people here have been happy for Huong Van Dan (born in 1974), Huong Van Mui (born in 1979) and Huong Van Thuy (born in 1989) because from now on, they have a spacious and sturdy house of their own.

Unable to hide his excitement, village chief Ha Van Nghe said that with the support of the Ministry of Public Security and the Provincial Police, the three most disadvantaged households in the village were given three level four houses. Accompanying and playing a core role with the Party Committee, government and households in the process of building these projects were 50 union members and youth of the commune.

Because the house construction site is located halfway up the hill, nearly 50m from the main road, transporting construction materials is extremely difficult. The access road is a small, narrow path that is only enough for trailers to go up, but with great determination, the youth union members have coordinated with the people to transport more than 4 tons of cement, 12 cubic meters of sand and gravel and tons of other materials. The sweat drenched their backs, but the results brought joy and happiness to the poor families. And then, yesterday, the houses were inaugurated, becoming a peaceful home for the families.

Although he has reached the age of 50, this is probably the first time Mr. Huong Van Dan has felt so happy. Seeing the green volunteer shirts working hard for his family and sharing the joy when the house was successfully roofed, he was extremely touched. This is a great source of encouragement for him and his children to overcome difficulties and strive to improve in life.

The joy of the people continued in many villages of Tuong Duong land when young people accompanied the Khmu people in Xop Kha village (Yen Hoa commune) to concretize hundreds of meters of internal roads. Next were 4 playgrounds for children in border villages in Nhon Mai, Mai Son, Yen Tinh communes... The enthusiasm of the children helped the difficult villages have more meaningful joys, and the people also put their trust in future generations.

Besides supporting infrastructure construction, in remote areas, the youth union members also always accompany and take care of people's health.

Happily holding the medicine bag in her hand, Mrs. To Thi Cuong (born in 1960) shared that she is a daughter of Ha Tinh land. After many hardships and wanderings, in 1980 she got married and lived in Veu 3 village. Due to difficult circumstances and remote terrain, she did not have the conditions to take care of her health. Now, being diagnosed with the disease and given free medicine, she feels extremely secure.

On a provincial scale, in 11 mountainous districts, the Youth Union at all levels organized health consultations, medical examinations, and free medicine for thousands of people. At the same time, the province gave nearly 1,000 gifts to the poor, policy families, and children in difficult circumstances, with a total value of nearly 1 billion VND.

More than 24,000 union members and youths in the province have participated in volunteer activities, of which a large number come from mountainous areas to contribute their youth to repair and construct dozens of kilometers of roads, build charity houses and support young people to start and establish businesses. All of these have added more color to the green shirts of Nghe An youth on the journey of change in difficult villages.
