The 7th day: Returning to the people.

Implementing the "Saturday with the People" movement, the Party Committee and government of Chiềng Hoa commune have maintained the practice of sending cadres and Party members to the grassroots level to directly work with the people in beautifying villages and building public works. These practical tasks have created a competitive spirit in building new rural areas, making a significant contribution to changing the appearance of the highland villages.

The Party Committee of Chiềng Hoa commune presented solar-powered light bulbs to Co Sủ Trên village.

After a week of work at the office, early Saturday morning, members of Task Force No. 23 of Chieng Hoa commune arrived in Chong village to help the villagers clear weeds along the roads; install streetlights along the village's internal roads; dig garbage pits, and build sanitary toilets for households. A bustling and energetic atmosphere permeated the village. Mr. Hoang Van Thai, Vice Chairman of the Chieng Hoa Commune People's Committee and team leader, said: Every week, the task force goes down to the village to clean up the internal roads, encourage households to build sanitary toilets, arrange garbage collection areas, and beautify their living spaces. In addition, the members actively mobilize social contributions of materials such as electric poles, light bulbs, cement, and cash to support the villagers in implementing the criteria for building new rural areas. To date, Chong village alone has mobilized people to contribute over 40 million VND to install 30 streetlights along the internal roads. 70 out of 80 households have sanitary toilets, and 65 household waste incinerators have been built, contributing to raising public awareness of environmental hygiene.

One of the highlights of the movement is that commune officials directly go down to the grassroots level, eating, working, and resolving difficulties arising during implementation. This has created a positive ripple effect, helping people to trust, agree with, and actively participate in local movements. Mr. Lo Van Minh, from Chong village, shared: "Previously, many households did not really care about environmental hygiene. Since officials regularly came down to the village to spread awareness and directly worked with the people to clean up, build toilets, and handle waste, people have become very trusting and followed suit. To date, all households are more conscious of keeping their houses clean, and my family has also built a waste incinerator to handle household waste."
