DTO - Ms. Tran Mai Chi (born in 1957), residing in Tan Nhuan Dong commune ( Dong Thap province), although her life is not too prosperous, with her kind heart and volunteer spirit, she has contributed to spreading good things to everyone around her.
Every day, Ms. Mai Chi sells 50 - 100 lottery tickets, saving 50,000 VND.
Ms. Mai Chi said that although her parents were merchants (in Thap Muoi), they were not well off but always spent time and effort helping people in difficult circumstances. When she got married and became a daughter-in-law in Tan Nhuan Dong commune, she continued to promote that spirit.
Every day, Ms. Mai Chi starts work very early. From 4 to 6 am, she diligently sweeps away trash in the Tan Nhuan Dong Commune People's Committee area, maintaining the general hygiene of the locality.
Notably, her contributions to the renovation of the road under Nha Man bridge. Previously, the road under the bridge was very narrow, only enough for one vehicle to pass, causing students to often fall. With concerns for everyone's safety, she proactively asked the commune People's Committee for permission to widen the road by 8-9 inches. She bought materials, mixed cement and paved the ground to gradually widen the road. To ensure safety at night, she added lighting and planted and cared for flowers to make the landscape under the bridge more beautiful. Ms. Chi shared that she swept the bridge twice a day and cared for the flowers once a week.
Currently, she is planning to expand the road under the bridge by 2 meters and install more lights, reducing the bends, helping people and students travel more conveniently at night. She is always careful in everything, always consulting the water supply company and the commune People's Committee before doing anything.
Even though she lives alone after her husband passed away, Mai Chi still maintains a frugal and optimistic lifestyle, spending very sparingly. Every morning, she wakes up early to cook bananas to sell, sell lottery tickets and sell coconuts. She puts 50,000 VND in her piggy bank every day from selling lottery tickets, and on the 15th day of the 7th lunar month, she takes it out to do charity.
She saves money to buy notebooks to give to poor students, each year depending on her ability she gives away 500 - 1,000 notebooks. She has people transport and distribute them to schools. In addition, she also buys cement and stones to patch up the roads herself whenever she sees them damaged.
Ms. Mai Chi plans to continue widening the road under the bridge by 2m and install more lighting to create more convenient travel conditions for people.
Ms. Mai Chi has 5 sons. They are also very supportive of their mother's charity work. She saves the money her children send home for charity. She believes: "I will help my neighbors as much as I can."
Besides, she also has a talent for wedding flower arrangement and the money she earns from this job she also saves for charity.
With her emotional and meaningful actions, she has quietly contributed to building an increasingly close-knit community, demonstrating her deep compassion and spirit of dedication to everyone...
Ms. Van Ngoc Mung - Deputy Director of Tan Nhuan Dong Commune Public Administration Center shared: Ms. Mai Chi always actively participates in the commune's movements, especially in environmental sanitation work. She voluntarily sweeps trash, buys trash cans, regularly cleans the Commune People's Committee area, Nha Man bridge area, plants flowers, and maintains the landscape "bright - green - clean - beautiful".
