Bags of rice, given out out of compassion, are distributed monthly.

Upon arriving at Residential Area 12, we were impressed by the "Model Flag Street" on Dong Khoi Street, with hundreds of national flags fluttering in the wind. The "cultural green spaces" at Duong Xuan Ha Street Park and Duong Xuan Ha Village communal house featured lush Taiwanese banyan trees, roses, and many other vibrant seasonal flowers, along with exercise equipment and stone benches. Many streets were equipped with security cameras and solar-powered lights, creating a green, clean, beautiful, and bright urban environment.

The alley opposite the Bau Va gas station, formerly a small dirt path that was inconvenient to travel on during the rainy season due to mud, has now been paved with concrete and widened to a 5-meter-wide road nearly 100 meters long. The entire cost, amounting to nearly 120 million VND, was covered by contributions from the local residents. The households also responded to the campaign to donate land for the expansion of Thich Tinh Khiet road, contributing to the construction of modern road infrastructure. In recent years, the residents have connected, mobilized, and contributed over 500 million VND to build public works and expand roads.

Mr. Dang Minh Tien, a Party member of the Party Branch of Residential Area 12, stated: "The civilized, friendly, green, clean, beautiful, and bright appearance of the residential area today is the result of the unity, contributions, and persistent efforts of each resident over the years. In this, the leadership role of the Party Branch of Residential Area 12 is of paramount importance."

According to Mr. Nguyen Thanh Son, Secretary of the Party Branch of Residential Area 12, identifying the effective implementation of patriotic emulation movements associated with the campaign "Studying and following the moral example and style of Ho Chi Minh " as one of the important tasks, the Party branch committee has linked the "following" of the Party branch collective and each Party member into practical tasks.

For the Party branch's leadership to be effective, first and foremost, each Party member must be truly responsible and exemplary in all actions, building unity within the entire branch and earning the trust and affection of the people. Party member Dang Minh Tien is one such exemplary figure. He, along with many other Party members, is always the first to arrive, "rolling up his sleeves" to build cultural green spaces, sweating it out on "Green Sundays." At the same time, he takes the lead in contributing funds to build public works; connecting with benefactors, gathering love and support for policy beneficiary families, elderly and lonely households, the sick, and those in need, thereby contributing to ensuring social welfare in the area.

The spirit of the Party members in the branch has spread to the people in the residential area. Under the leadership of the Party branch, Residential Area 12, along with organizations, associations, and residents, has mobilized, connected, and contributed 600 to 700 million VND annually to give gifts to disadvantaged households; sustainably maintaining the "Rice Jar of Compassion" model, giving 32 households one bag of rice each month.

The Party Secretary of Residential Area 12 stated: "Since the beginning of the year, the Party branch has led the fundraising effort, collecting nearly 120 million VND to donate gifts to disadvantaged people in the area. Recently, during the Vu Lan festival, 100 gift packages filled with love were handed directly to elderly, lonely, and needy households."

After 10 years of implementing Directive 05 of the Politburo , the Party Branch of Residential Area 12 has received commendations 8 times and achieved many other accomplishments. “That is the pride of the Party Branch and each Party member. The most valuable reward is the daily progress of the locality and the trust, affection, and unity of the people in the area,” shared the Secretary of the Party Branch of Residential Area 12.
