We followed Major Bui Dinh Nhu from the Border Post of the Quy Nhon Port Border Gate to visit the family of Doan Van Hai - a 6th grader in Thi Nai ward, Quy Nhon city, Binh Dinh province. Hai is one of the four students adopted by the unit over the past time. Talking with us, Hai shared that thanks to the wholehearted care and support of border troops, he gained good academic results. “Every year, troops visit and present many gifts, including clothes, school bags, water bottles, raincoats, and other stuff to me. Troops also pay tuition fees for me to share difficulties with my parents,” he said.
The “Paving the way to school for children” program has been maintained by the Binh Dinh provincial Border Guard Command over the past years. According to Senior Colonel Nguyen Thuy Vu, Deputy Political Chief of the command, up to know, each agency and unit of the command has adopted at least two students. Among them, 68 students have received scholarships, worth VND 2.9 billion in total.
Senior Colonel Phan Truong Son, Political Commissar of the command, shared that building a firm posture of people's hearts in maritime border areas plays a core role in promoting great national unity and building whole people's border defense posture.

Upholding power to safeguard national sovereignty over sea and islands
Over the past five years, Binh Dinh border guards have closely teamed up with other forces to follow and forecast local situation, thereby timely addressing arising issues in maritime border areas. Attentively, the border guard force has well implemented Prime Minister’s Directive 01 on the organization of the movement “Whole people protecting national sovereignty and border security in the new situation.”
