(HBO) – The ninth Uncle Ho’s Good Grandchildren Congress of Hoa Binh province was recently held by the Standing Board of the provincial Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union (HCYU) Committee and the provincial council of the Ho Chi Minh Vanguard Children’s Union (HVCU).
Bui
Van Cuu, Vice Chairman of the Hoa Binh provincial People’s Committee, and representatives
from the Central HVCU Council, present merit certificates to local exemplary
children.
Since 2015, the provincial HVCU Council has
actively launched and implemented a number of meaningful and effective
programmes and movements that have attracted a large number of HVCU members and
local children, creating a vibrant emulation atmosphere among schools.
Notably, under the "Lighting up dreams in Hoa
Binh” movement, all-level HVCU councils and units have presented 30,102
scholarships worth over 2 billion VND (86,200 USD) in total, along with
stationery items, to less privileged students. Other movements like the "Rice
jar of love”, "Tet for poor friends”, "Piggy banks” and "Assisting efforts on
the path to school” have raised more than 1 billion notebooks, 1,000 sets of
textbooks and 5,506 clothe items for the targeted group while supporting over
13,000 children with disadvantages. Thirteen houses were also built for
poor families with donations raised by the movements.
Contests launched by the Central HVCU Council
have attracted hundreds of thousands of local children. Besides, 17,032 children
in Hoa Binh have been admitted into the HVCU, and 160,979 granted with the
Uncle Ho’s Good Grandchildren title at all levels.
Addressing the congress, Vice Chairman of the
Hoa Binh provincial People’s Committee Bui Van Cuu commended local children for
their prominent achievements over the past years.
He expressed his hope that children in the
province will continue making efforts in learning, self-improvement, and
following the five teachings of late President Ho Chi Minh so as to uphold
former generations’ revolutionary tradition.
The official asked all-level Party committees,
administrations, agencies and organisations, especially the provincial HCYU
Committee and HVCU Council, to pay more heed to the protection, care and
education of children and create the best possible environment for them to grow
up. He also requested more attention be paid to educating the young on the
revolutionary ideals, morality and lifestyle, in addition to bringing into play
traditional values of the nation and effectively applying achievements of the
Fourth Industrial Revolution.
At the congress, rewards were presented to 200
exemplary children and 10 outstanding cadres in charge of HVCU activities./.
After three years of implementing the Politburo’s Conclusion No. 01-KL/TW on continuing performing Directive 05-CT/TW on enhancing the learning and studying of President Ho Chi Minh’s thought, moral example and lifestyle, Lac Thuy district of Hoa Binh province has discovered many effective models and practices, creating a spillover effect in the local community, helping to develop a clean and strong Party Organisation meeting the requirements in the new situation.
The Hoa Binh Elderly Association and the provincial Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs on May 7 held a working session with a visiting delegation from the Japanese Embassy and sponsors of a local project on reducing senior citizens’ income and health vulnerabilities in Vietnam (VIE071).
Seventy years have passed, but the memories of the Dien Bien Phu campaign in 1954 have never faded in the mind of veteran Ly Van Ngoan from Dong Tien hamlet, Phu Thanh commune, Lac Thuy district.
Over recent times, in Mai Chau district, there have been many typical examples of studying and following President Ho Chi Minh's ideology, ethics, and lifestyle in all aspects of the social life, contributing to successfully implementing the tasks of socio-economic development, and ensuring social welfare and defence and security in the locality.
