Mr. Le Van Lieu (village 1, Tien Canh commune) said: "Previously, the road leading to Go Dinh area was a dirt road about 3m wide, so traveling was inconvenient. Later, formerPresident Truong Tan Sang came to donate a bridge across the stream, and the people here participated in donating land to expand the road to the residential area.

The households met and agreed to donate land and crops to widen the road without asking for any benefits. My family voluntarily donated over 150 square meters to build the road. The expanded road not only makes traveling and trading easier, but also contributes to improving people's lives."
