(HBO) – Every Saturday morning, Phang A Song and his wife join other residents in Pa Co Con hamlet of Pa Co commune, Mai Chau district, in cleaning up the local environment and dredging ditches along roads.


Residents in Pa Khom hamlet of Pa Co commune, Mai Chau district, have actively taken part in the paving of rural roads.

Chairman of the Pa Co communal People’s Committee Sung A Mang said it is a disadvantaged commune, the life of many residents remains unstable, while people’s educational level is still limited, posing challenges to new-style rural area building efforts. Therefore, the commune has faced numerous difficulties in mobilising people’s resources for infrastructure construction.

Recently, residents in Pa Khom hamlet joined in the concreting of over 500m of road and the construction of other facilities. Aside from the State’s financial support, locals donated hundreds of square metres of land, helped ready the construction site, and directly participated in the building. As a result, in a short period of time, the road was completed and put into use, helping to give a facelift to this rural area.

Thanks to the capitalisation of public support, all 4.64km of roads linking hamlets across Pa Co commune have been paved, and 4.62km or 68 percent of the 7.62km of local roads cleaned up and protected from flooding in the rainy season.

Residents have also actively joined hands in building cultural facilities. The Sung, Trang and Mua families, among others, have helped schools in Xa Linh I, Pa Hang Lon and Cha Day hamlets to upgrade their infrastructure.

In 2018, people in Pa Co donated nearly 400sq.m. of land to building school infrastructure. They include residents Trang A Pua in Xa Linh hamlet (195sq.m. of land), Mua A Chenh in Cha Day hamlet (81sq.m.) and Mua A Pua in Pa Hang Lon hamlet (110sq.m.). That has helped complete the network of schools at different levels here./.
