On September 1, 2024, the Military Command of Son Tinh district coordinated with the Love Connection Club and the Youth Union of the Market Management Department to organize the program "Going to school with highland children and enjoying the Mid-Autumn Festival" in village 2, Tra Giang commune, Tra Bong district.
Village 2, Tra Giang commune is isolated in the middle of remote mountains and forests, with only about 14 households living there. The people here have lived in isolation for nearly 30 years, facing many difficulties and deprivation due to the remote and isolated conditions.
To get to village 2 from the center of Tra Giang commune, you have to cross Chua mountain with high, steep passes stretching for tens of kilometers. This place is likened to an "oasis" isolated from the outside world.
During the program, the Military Command of Son Tinh District and other units organized many fun folk games for the children and presented 30 gifts to students, including school bags, notebooks, new clothes and milk. At the same time, 15 gifts including cash, household items and food were also presented to households. In addition, the program also presented national flags to help people celebrate Independence Day, organized haircuts for children and the elderly, provided health care consultation, promoted hygiene, disease prevention and disseminated laws to people, with a total cost of more than 35 million VND.
With creative and practical approaches, not afraid of difficulties, the cooperation of many units has created practical results. The District Military Command and accompanying units have directly supported students, helping them have more motivation to overcome difficulties and continue to strive in their studies. The program not only shares the difficulties of people in remote areas but also contributes to strengthening the solidarity between the army and the people, spreading the image of the qualities of "Uncle Ho's soldiers".
