Previously, there was no electricity, making daily activities very difficult, at night we only relied on flashlights or charcoal from solar panels, children had to study hard. Now that there is stable electricity, people are very excited, feel secure in their work, and take care of their children's education. This is an important condition for Rao Con village to gradually develop and improve its long-term life," said Mr. Ho Thau.
