The project has a total cost of more than 270 million VND, sponsored by the Volunteer Center organization, the locality contributes 30%. The roads that were once dark and difficult to travel on have now become bright, becoming a meaningful highlight in community life.
Mr. Dieu N'Day - representative of the people of the two villages emotionally shared: "From now on, the roads in the village will be lit, children will go to school more conveniently, and people will travel at night more safely. We promise to preserve the project and actively join hands to build new rural areas, maintaining border security".
Not only has the simple meaning of lighting, the "Lighting up the border" movement in Quang Truc also creates many practical values.
In terms of economy, the lit roads help people more conveniently produce and trade goods. Thereby promoting the economic development of households.
