Army Academy cares for needy staff
PANO - The Army Academy on December 29 handed over a comradeship house to its needy staff in ward 9, Da Lat city, in the Central Highlands province of Lam Dong.
The recipient was First Lieutenant
Nguyen Huu Thinh, a non-commissioned officer, who is working as an interpreter
for the International Department.
The 60sq.m-plus house was built at a
cost of VND 70 millions contributed to by Army Corps 15, the Academy’s twinned
unit and by Thinh’s family’s own financial resource.
Addressing the ceremony, Senior
Colonel Le Van Thai, Deputy-Director of the Political Department of the Academy
said that the house is a practical and meaningful gift from the two units to
Thinh’s family ahead of the New Year. It also demonstrates the national
tradition of mutual affection and close and responsible comradeship.
Other significant presents were also
given to the officer’s family.
