Determined to accelerate construction progress
At 6 a.m., at the construction site of the Primary and Secondary Boarding School in Ia Pnon commune, Gia Lai province, troops of Regiment 38 (Division 2) were busy erecting scaffolding, installing formwork, cutting steel bars, and transporting cement, sand, and gravel from the storage area to the second and third floors of the school building in preparation for concrete pouring.
According to Lieutenant Colonel Le Van An, Deputy Political Commissar of Regiment 38 (Division 2), to speed up the construction, they have arranged for the troops to eat and rest right at the worksite during lunchtime. Although living conditions are still difficult, the weather unfavorable, and the workload heavy, their troops have heightened their responsibility and determination to accomplish the assigned mission.

In the mountainous communes of La Dee, La Ee, A Vuong, Tay Giang, and Dak Pring (Da Nang), thanks to the support and tireless work spirit of hundreds of officers and soldiers from the Da Nang municipal Military Command, Division 315, Armored Brigade 574, and Signal Brigade 575, the multi-level boarding schools are gradually taking shape.
Opportunity for change for ethnic minority children
Since troops from the Dak Lak provincial Military Command have traveled long distances to assist local authorities in accelerating school construction, the Women's Unions of Ia Rve and Ia Lop communes have, twice a week, regularly prepared “banh it” (glutinous rice cakes wrapped in leaves), cooked sweet soup, and provided fresh water to help soldiers and militiamen at the construction sites cope with the heat of June.

Vo Van Loi, Deputy Director of the Dak Lak provincial Civil and Industrial Construction Investment Management Board, stated that the unit is currently implementing three multi-level boarding school projects in border areas. These large-scale projects are being built with modern, synchronized infrastructure and represent investments worth hundreds of billions of VND. Despite numerous difficulties, with reinforcement and support from Military Region 5 and the Dak Lak provincial Military Command, the contractors are determined to complete the projects on or ahead of schedule, ensuring that the schools will be operational by this September.
According to Nguyen Thien Van, Vice Chairman of the Dak Lak provincial People's Committee, for border communes facing many difficulties, such as Ia Lop and Ia Rve, investing in schools is far more than just constructing buildings. It helps build public trust and creates educational opportunities and prospects for a better future for ethnic children, contributing to developing local human resources, and strengthening the posture of people’s hearts.
He also emphasized that, despite the difficult conditions, heavy workload, and tight construction schedule, the proactive role of the Dak Lak provincial Military Command showed their responsibility and good virtues of Uncle Ho’s soldiers in the new era.
