(HBO) – The People’s Committee of Cao Duong commune, Luong Son district has held a ceremony to inaugurate the first phase of Quen Thi communal house.
The ribbon cutting ceremony to inaugurate Quen
Thi communal house in Cao Duong commune, Luong Son district.
The communal house had long been built in the
field of Quen Thi village, serving as a place where religious activities took
place to show reverence to ancestors, gods and village founders.
In 1951, French colonialists attacked the
village, killed locals for robbery and burned the communal house. By 1996,
locals voluntarily contributed their money and efforts to rebuild the communal
house at its old campus. However, through time, the communal house degraded
seriously. Thanks to the support of departments and sectors in the province and
district, Most Venerable Thich Dao Thinh from Khai Nguyen pagoda encouraged
Buddhist monks, nuns and sponsors to contribute money to rebuild the communal
house. As a result, people in the village and commune provided 40 million VND and
working days while 39 households donated land to expand its campus area to over
13,000 square metres. The first phase of the project has been completed with
main facilities while the second one is being carried out through capital
contributed by organisations and individuals.
