Students winning first prize of the contest "I love national sea and islands" awarded

According to Deputy Political Commissar of Coast Guard Region 4 Captain Le Van Tu, since the COVID-19 pandemic is still complicated, the region has flexibly and creatively held its programs for fishermen. In particular, the organizing panel decided to host online contest on national sea and islands for students of Chu Van An and Vo Truong Toan Secondary Schools in the city instead of holding face-to-face event like the previous years.

Captain Le Van Tu said that the coast guard region’s online event has attracted the active participation of students. It has also left a good impression on teachers and students of the two schools of a healthy, useful, practical, and effective playground. 

Bicycles given to needy students

Apart from information and law dissemination, the unit has organized various social activities. In particular, the coast guard region’s mission has handed over 20 smart phones, 20 bicycles, and 50 scholarships to needy students of Chu Van An and Vo Truong Toan Secondary Schools; 100 gifts, worth VND 1 million each to policy beneficiaries in An Hoa and Vinh Lac wards, Rach Gia city; 200 books to the Mass Mobilization Commission of Rach Gia’s Party Committee and the two secondary schools.

As part of the coordination program between the Coast Guard Region 4 Command and Hung Vuong Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, the hospital’s Red Cross Society handed over 50 medicine kits to assist the city’s field hospital in taking care of fishermen. The deed aims to help local fishermen be more secure to fish at sea and contribute to safeguarding the national sovereignty over sea and islands. 

Fishermen receive medicine cabinets and national flags.

Within the program, on December 29, Coast Guard Region 4 met with and disseminated law to 1,200 ships’ owners and fishermen in An Lac and Vinh Hoa wards. During the event, the mission distributed more than 1,000 leaflets with sea-and-islands-related information and presented 30 medicine cabinets and 300 national flags to fishermen.
