The dream of a solid house has always been in the hearts of each member for many years.

The family has sick elderly people and many children, so living in a new house will be very secure, especially when it rains and is windy. We are very grateful for the attention of our superiors and neighbors who have made our mother and family's lifelong dream come true," Ms. Vi Thi Vu, Ms. Thach's daughter, emotionally said.
