The provincial armed forces, agencies and businesses in Mai Chau district present bicycles to poor students with excellent academic performances.
The province's armed forces have built and maintained many effective methods and models to tighten the bond between the military and the people. They include "cultural and national defence village" model in especially disadvantaged areas in association with the movement "The army joins hands to build new-style rural areas", "Together we go to school" and other movements to help policy beneficiary families and those with difficult circumstances.
According to Colonel Trieu Kim Thang, Deputy Political Commissar of the provincial Military Command, a lot of practical models have been effectively built and maintained over the three-year implementation of Conclusion No. 01-KL/TW.
For instance, in the "Together we go to school” model, units in the armed forces have held many meaningful activities such as donating bicycles, tables and chairs, school supplies, school uniforms presenting scholarships and supporting poor students. The provincial armed forces have coordinated with agencies and organisations to mobilise donations to buy 815 bicycles, valued at nearly 1 billion VND (39,400 USD), for poor students. Thus, many students have better learning conditions.
"The bicycle and school supplies given to me by soldiers have helped me and many of my friends have greater will to pursue learning so that we can study well for a better life,” said Duong Hoang Thi, a tenth grader from Cao Phong Senior High School.
Through the models, the provincial armed forces have awarded 104 scholarships, worth over 200 million VND and supported 56 students in difficult circumstances from elementary to high school. Many of them have enrolled in colleges and universities. A total of 17 charity houses have been built for policy beneficiary families, along with three others for soldiers from disadvantaged backgrounds with 80 million VND in finance assistance per house.
In addition, the provincial armed forces deployed the cultural and national defence and security model in extremely difficult communes in association with the movement "The army joins hands to build new-style rural areas". Up to 38 cultural and national defence villages have been built in the locality.
Studying and following Uncle Ho's teachings has become a regular task for the armed forces.
Over the years, many new houses have been built and a lot of families in difficult circumstances have received assistance, reflecting the noble virtues of Uncle Ho's soldiers and contributing to local socio-economic development which is associated with ensuring national defence and security in the locality.
