The Women's Union of An Binh ward recently organized a visit to Ms. Bui Thi My Le (80 years old), a former revolutionary prisoner, in Area 7. In a warm atmosphere, Ms. Le's story of a difficult but steadfast youth moved many people. Ms. Le joined the revolution at the age of 16. In 1967, she was captured and imprisoned by the enemy at Bac Lieu Central Prison. Despite enduring many brutal tortures, she remained steadfastly loyal to the revolution.

Respecting the dedication of the former female revolutionary prisoner, the Women's Union of An Binh Ward mobilized resources and provided livelihood support to Ms. Le's family with 70 million VND. This support not only has material significance but also expresses the deep gratitude of today's generation towards policy beneficiary families and those who have contributed to the cause of national liberation and defense. According to Ms. Le, with this capital, she and her daughter will open a beverage shop combined with making and selling handicrafts from recycled materials.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Bich Lien, President of the Women's Union of An Binh Ward, said: "Besides caring for members' economic development, in April, the Women's Union, in coordination with the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of the ward, organized a thematic activity at the Ong Hao Victory Historical Site. Through this, members reviewed the glorious traditions of their ancestors, and were further motivated to work hard, contribute, and join hands in building their homeland."

In Dong Phuoc commune, the Women's Union organized a campaign to plant 150 trees in Phuoc Hung hamlet, combined with pruning trees that obstructed visibility, contributing to traffic safety and creating a more open and pleasant environment. The Women's Union also launched a "Zero-Cost Booth" model, donating nearly 1,000 sets of clothing to over 200 women in difficult circumstances; and launched a model to "Encourage women to marry before 30 and have two children before 35" to effectively implement population policies in the new context.

During the historic month of April, the Women's Union of Xa Phien commune, in coordination with the Veterans' Association and the Farmers' Association, launched the "Flower-lined, Bright, Green, Clean, and Beautiful Road" model in Cai Nhau hamlet, stretching over 5km. The activity attracted more than 50 members and residents who participated in planting portulaca flowers, collecting garbage, clearing bushes, and promoting waste sorting at source. Ms. Dang Thi Ngoc Uoc, Vice President of the Women's Union of Xa Phien commune, shared: "Through this activity, we hope to contribute to raising awareness among female cadres and members in protecting the environment and building a brighter, greener, cleaner, and more beautiful new rural area."

At the city level, the Can Tho City Women's Union organized many activities to celebrate the 51st anniversary of the Liberation of Southern Vietnam and the reunification of the country, such as: a competition on "Wrapping, cooking, and displaying banh tet and banh chung" (traditional Vietnamese rice cakes), with the theme "Returning to our roots"; a program to visit historical sites; and coordination in building a rural traffic bridge connecting Hamlet 8, An Lac Thon Commune, and Hamlet 8, Dai Hai Commune, with over 596 million VND raised through social mobilization.
