The program was launched by the Quang Binh provincial Border Guard Command to create changes in mass mobilization work, especially promoting the role of party members who are border troops in villages and the role of village elders, village patriarchs, and reputable people in building and consolidating the political base, boosting socio-economic development, helping people eradicate hunger and reduce poverty.
Up to now, military units under the Quang Binh provincial Border Guard Command have mobilized more than 1,000 troops and local people to clean the environment and collect rubbish, harvest crops, repair houses and provide water for local people. The units also granted scholarships, clothes, and books to disadvantaged students; handed over national flags and life jackets to fishermen and ethnic minority people; and offered free health check-ups and counseling and haircuts for hundreds of people.
