Bringing Spring to border areas
PANO - A program “Spring in border areas” took place in the border commune of Quang Truc, Tuy Duc district, Dak Nong province, with various activities which were held by the Department of Politics under Military Region 5 and the Dak Nong provincial Military Command, on February 10-11.
Accordingly, troops and local youths participated in a Chung cake (a square cake made of glutinous rice, green bean, and pork wrapped in phrynium leaves) wrapping contest, and also competed together in folk games.
The organizers sent missions to visit and inquire after policy beneficiaries and poor households in the commune.
Under the program, they presented nearly 800 gifts and 500 Chung cakes to local ethnic minority people and disadvantaged students with outstanding academic records, and handed over two gratitude houses to needy officers.
The event was to bring a warm Tet (Lunar New Year festival) to disadvantaged people and also cement the civilian-military solidarity during the holiday.
