The program comprised a series of activities, including an artistic exchange program, folk games, a Chung cake making competition, a zero-VND stall, and a program to provide free medical examination and medicines for local people, to name but a few.
	Attentively, the organizing panel presented five houses and 50 water tanks, granted 36 scholarships to students under the “Paving ways to school for children – Adopted children of border posts” programs and disadvantaged children. Also, they offered 280 gifts to policy beneficiaries, national contributors, poor families, and households participating in self-management teams to manage the borderline and border markers.
	* On the same day in A Mu Sung commune, Bat Xat district, Lao Cai province, the provincial Border Guard Command organized the border spring program for local people.
	Thao Thi Huyen Trang, a Dao ethnic minority student from A Mu Sung Primary School, shared that in addition to receiving a lot of gifts, including books, school supplies, warm clothes, etc., she had an opportunity to enjoy artistic performances, play folk games, and join a Chung cake making competition.
	Within the framework of the program, the provincial Border Guard Command and other relevant units carried out various activities, such as handing over gratitude houses; organizing the zero-VND stall; providing free health check-ups and medicines; and holding a Chung cake making competition; and others.
	The People’s Army Newspaper would like to introduce some photos of the border spring programs in Ha Giang and Lao Cai provinces.
