“Civilized Saturday”: From Small Actions to Big Movements

Sowing seeds from specific models

Recently, Ward 2, Tuong Binh Hiep Ward (Thu Dau Mot City) has a typical and outstanding model in building a cultural and civilized lifestyle, which is the model of "Beautiful houses - green - clean - beautiful sidewalks". This model not only brings about a clear change in the urban appearance but also demonstrates the strength of the great solidarity of the people. Ms. Le Thi Thanh Loan, Secretary of Ward 2 Party Cell, said: "The ward focuses on propaganda and mobilizing each household to understand and commit to implementing the model. When people see the practical benefits such as clean houses, fresh environment, and trees that cool the air, the support becomes stronger and stronger".

The model "Dream Bookshelf" contributes to spreading knowledge in Tan Phuoc Khanh ward, Tan Uyen city

From the propaganda according to the motto "slow and steady wins the race", in Ward 2, there have been encouraging results. Each household keeps their house clean, plants at least one tree in front of their house, and cleans the sidewalk in front of their door. The ward has planted more than 3,200 new ornamental plants and flowers in 65 flower beds along Le Chi Dan Street, and removed 5 illegal advertising signs...

After nearly 1 year of implementation, now "Civilized Saturday" is no longer a single day of movement, but has become a part of the community life of Binh Duong people. Under the direction of local Party committees and authorities, the movement has created positive effects and spread widely...

In Tan An Ward (Thu Dau Mot City), Mr. Nguyen Duc Thien, Head of the Executive Board of Ward 5, has also worked with the Executive Board to organize environmental cleaning activities in their own way. Every month, Mr. Thien and a large number of officers and residents in the ward clean up a street such as DX 121, DX 122, DX 125... The streets are "renewed" not only by the garbage being cleaned up but also by the green color from the ward's tree nursery. Mr. Thien said: "We have a nursery with more than 1,100 trees. From here, trees are propagated and planted along the streets. Up to now, the ward has had many more trees planted from this source. At the same time, we have also mobilized people to plant 560 trees and fruit trees of all kinds."

In Phu My Ward, the model of “Green - Clean - Beautiful Garbage-Free Streets” is also showing clear results. According to Ms. Vo Thi Nhu Quynh, Deputy Secretary of Ward 1 Party Cell, DX 037 and DX 034 streets have now become a highlight of the urban environment. People unanimously signed a commitment, placed trash bins in front of their houses, and participated in periodic cleaning with the neighborhood group...

Bringing knowledge to every neighborhood

Not stopping at beautifying the environment, Tan Phuoc Khanh Ward (Tan Uyen City) chose to spread knowledge through the model "Dream Bookshelf". The model is deployed in 8/8 neighborhoods, each neighborhood has a bookshelf with a total of 323 rich books from life skills, law, culture to comics, career guidance...

According to the ward Fatherland Front, the model has been put into operation simultaneously, attracting students and residents to read books, creating a space of knowledge right in the heart of the neighborhood. With funding from socialized sources, the model shows the practical cooperation of the community in nurturing dreams and sowing the seeds of creativity. Through the model, the ward Fatherland Front hopes that the model will not only stop at giving books, but also build a habit of reading books among the people.

In Hamlet 3, Tan Hung Commune (Bau Bang District), activities of cleaning, planting trees, and clearing bushes are organized regularly every week and every month. Recently, Hamlet 3 has boldly implemented the model of "Model Road" 1,550m long with a budget of 10 million VND, with the participation of hundreds of people. In addition, the socialization of alley renovation, installation of lighting, signs, security cameras, etc. has also helped the countryside become more spacious and safe. Not only beautiful in form, these activities contribute to strengthening the relationship between villagers and raising community awareness.

After nearly a year of implementation, “Civilized Saturday” is no longer a single day of movement, but has become a part of the community life of Binh Duong people. Under the direction of local authorities, the movement has created a positive effect and spread widely.

Each model, each small action, from planting a tree, placing trash cans in the right place, to keeping sidewalks clean, removing illegal billboards… all contribute to creating a new look for each residential area. Not only helping the living environment become greener - cleaner - more beautiful, the movement also helps strengthen the relationship between neighbors, arouse civic responsibility, and bring Binh Duong closer to the goal of sustainable development…
