PANO - Tan Thong Hoi commune in Cu Chi district, Ho Chi Minh City, has been changing positively and strongly thanks to the movement of new-style rural area construction in localities. The locals’ material and spiritual life has improved much.

Coming to this commune today, it is easy to view multi-storey houses, colorful orchid gardens and welfare facilities, far different from the poor commune of Tan Thong Hoi in the past.

It came from the choice of Tan Thong Hoi as one of 11 pilot communes to be built under the model of new-style rural area. After three years of implemention, Tan Thong Hoi has become a new-style rural commune, meeting all 19 criteria. At present, it is a bright example for other localities to learn from.

PANO would like to introduce some images of the commune.
