Dan Hoa’s vast, mountainous terrain and scattered population hinder traditional communication. Poor border infrastructure, difficult roads, and limited radio coverage further delay essential information delivery.
To address this, the local border post launched the “Remote Hamlet Radio Broadcasting” model. The goal is to turn State policies into concrete local actions through accessible information. Construction began in April 2024 amid extreme heat, with officers manually transporting equipment across steep slopes and streams.
Within a month, the system achieved full coverage across all border hamlets. Funded by over VND 305 million from benefactors and the Association of Quang Binh Natives, the project installed 11 amplifiers, 11 microphones, 61 loudspeakers, and 12 kilometers of transmission lines.
After a year of broadcasting four to five hours daily, the model has earned high praise from authorities and residents. Beyond relaying information, the speakers support cultural activities and community development. The system has bolstered public security, supported "new-styled rural development" programs, and strengthened the "people’s heart posture" in frontier defense.
Colonel Ngo Van Binh, Political Officer of the Cha Lo International Border Gate Border Post, stated the model delivers optimal results. Programs from the Voice of Vietnam and provincial agencies, covering legal education, weather, and agricultural techniques, are selected for their conciseness. This ensures residents can easily grasp and apply information. Today, these daily broadcasts foster legal compliance, vigilance against crime, and mutual trust within the community.

The loudspeaker system has become a reliable information source for local residents. Ho Hung, a Ka Ai hamlet resident, noted that regular broadcasts have significantly improved public awareness. Previously, access to legal information was limited by difficult conditions. Now, frequent communication helps villagers grasp regulations and practical knowledge more effectively.
Dan Hoa's experience shows that building public trust starts with simple efforts like consistent broadcasting. These modest foundations strengthen community consensus and knowledge. As the loudspeakers resonate, border guards become closer to the people, earning trust and fostering a resilient border region rooted in the collective will.
