Building bridges, illuminating border villages.
Having witnessed many times the plight of the people of the two villages of T'Râm and Ki'Noonh having to wade across deep, precarious streams to reach their fields, Hốih Anh was deeply concerned. “Many times during the rainy season, when the water level rose, the villagers didn't dare cross the stream, and they couldn't harvest the ripe rice. I kept thinking about how we could build a bridge so the people could travel safely,” he recalled.
With that idea in mind, Hoih Anh mobilized youth union members to contribute their efforts to build a 30-meter-long, 1.2-meter-wide wooden suspension bridge connecting the two villages of T'Râm and Ki'Noonh. After many days of hard work, the bridge was completed, bringing immeasurable joy to more than 60 households. Since then, travel and transportation of agricultural products have become more convenient, and border guards can more easily patrol and maintain border security.
Not stopping there, Hoih Anh continued to mobilize organizations and philanthropists to support the construction of a suspension bridge made of iron, over 30 meters long, connecting Ki'Noonh village with the production area. During the construction days, members of the Youth Union of Hung Son commune had to carry each bag of cement and each steel bar across slippery, steep forest paths and deep streams.
On the inauguration day, laughter echoed throughout the village. The elderly and children rejoiced at no longer having to wade through the dangerous stream. The bridge, costing 150 million dong, not only connected the two banks but also strengthened the bonds of community in this remote border region.
Unleashing the youthful energy of the highlands.
Once sturdy bridges connected the two banks of the stream, Hoih Anh was burdened with another worry: how to provide light for his village at night. He recounted that in the past, many villages in the commune were plunged into darkness after sunset due to a lack of electricity. Children had nowhere to play, adults had to carry flashlights when going out, and patrolling the border at night was quite difficult.
To bring light to the people, he initiated and spearheaded the "Lighting for Axan Commune" project, installing over 500 solar-powered lamps in three villages: T'Râm, Ki'Noonh, and Ariing, serving more than 200 households. Each lamp was transported through forests and streams by youth union members, sponsoring organizations, and border guards to each house. Now, every time the sun sets, the lights illuminate the village roads, the sound of children playing echoes throughout the hamlet, people can work with peace of mind, and security and order are ensured.
Not only did he contribute to community projects, but Hoih Anh also inspired the pioneering spirit of young people in the task of protecting the nation's borders. He mobilized youth union members to cooperate with the Tr'hy Border Guard Post to transport materials, wood, corrugated iron, and cement to build border guard posts No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 in T'ram and Ariing villages. These are border areas adjacent to the villages of Keeu, Bhalee, and Chi Do in Sekong province (Laos). The work was arduous, the roads long and treacherous, but each person made their best effort with a spirit of voluntary dedication, viewing hardship as a challenge to grow and contribute.
In addition, he organized over 500 youth union members to cooperate with the Tr'hy Border Guard Post in patrolling, clearing the border, and protecting border markers 685 to 690. With his persistent efforts, Hoih Anh was recently awarded the "October 15th Award" by the Da Nang City Youth Union, a prize given to outstanding young people who have made positive contributions to the community. But for him, the greatest reward remains the radiant smiles of the people when they have a new bridge, when there is light on every road, and when the red flag with a yellow star proudly flies over the border.
