The construction of the two houses was started in early April 2023 at the cost of VND 80 million each, drawn from the GDL’s “Gratitude Fund.” The houses were completed after more than two months.
Addressing the ceremony, Senior Colonel Tran Van Dinh, Deputy Political Chief of the GDL, congratulated the two families on receiving the houses. He hoped that they will promote the family’s traditions, observe the Party’s guidelines and the State’s laws, be good models in local movements for their relatives to follow.
