(Baonghean.vn) - For nearly 19 years, the people of Hai Nam block, Nghi Hai ward (Cua Lo) have become familiar with the image of a simple, dedicated man working side by side with the ward police force to maintain order and bring a peaceful life. That is Mr. Tran Ngoc Hoa - Head of the Hai Nam block's civil defense committee.

For a peaceful parish

Thuong Loc parish belongs to Trang Canh parish located in Hai Nam block, Nghi Hai ward. The parish has 76 households with 386 people, living on fishing, seafood trading and some other service jobs. With the local characteristics located close to provincial road 535, bordering Nghi Hoa ward (Cua Lo town), Nghi Xuan commune (Nghi Loc), the commercial and service activities of this area are bustling. This was also a complicated place in terms of security and order such as gambling, lottery, and drinking.

Faced with that situation, Head of the Hai Nam Block Civil Protection Committee Tran Ngoc Hoa (born in 1954), also a parishioner,Thuong Loc Parishadvised the Party Committee, government, and police force in the area to build a peaceful parish model free of social evils.

“As a parishioner and also the Head of the Civil Protection Committee, I understand better than anyone what needs to be done so that not only the parishioners in particular but also the people in the area in general can feel secure in living, working and producing. Building the model is the desire of all the people,” Mr. Tran Ngoc Hoa shared.

From that wish, in May 2018, the model "Peaceful Thuong Loc Parish, free of drug crimes and social evils" was born. With the desire to create a stable living environment, helping people feel secure in production and economic development, Mr. Tran Ngoc Hoa and members of the People's Protection Committee actively carried out propaganda work, integrating it into the parish's ceremonies to convey to the people. Within 5 years, Mr. Tran Ngoc Hoa and the Party Committee and government organized 10 propaganda and mobilization campaigns with 300 participants. Through the campaigns, 5 kg of various types of firecrackers and 15 knives and swords of various types were recovered.
