Youthful energy blends with the rhythm of the homeland.

“Each wave is not just a telecommunication signal, but also a strong bond of friendship, affirming sovereignty and strengthening the relationship between the military and the people in the most remote and challenging areas,” shared Gia Thanh Nha, Secretary of the VNPT Ca Mau Youth Union, during a visit to Hon Khoai and Hon Chuoi to donate gifts and maintain telecommunications infrastructure.

• Extending the communication channel, sharing with Hon Chuoi Island.
• Strengthening telecommunications infrastructure on the strategically important island of Hon Khoai.

Waves of affection

During their journeys to the frontline islands, the VNPT Ca Mau technical team's mission is to inspect and maintain the broadcasting stations. This is a regular activity aimed at ensuring uninterrupted communication between the islands and the mainland, serving national defense and security purposes as well as the daily lives of the people. Since 2008, when many remote islands still lacked coverage, VNPT Ca Mau, in coordination with the Navy's 5th Regional Command, laid the first bricks for telecommunications infrastructure on Hon Khoai Island.

Mr. Doan Hoang Nghiem (Infrastructure Center, VNPT Ca Mau) shared with emotion: “Previously, travel was difficult; we had to go by fishing boat, then walk or ride motorbikes along trails to reach the station. Now, the infrastructure is much better, with shuttle services available. Although the technicians work hard, they are always proud to maintain the signal for the soldiers and people far from home.”

The journey not only brought technical expertise but also warmth from the mainland through practical gifts. The total value of the gifts, exceeding 60 million VND, was handed directly to the forces on duty and the people on Hon Khoai and Hon Chuoi islands.

Receiving the gift from the delegation, Nguyen Ngoc Phuong (a 4th-grade student at the Hon Chuoi charity school) innocently shared: “I am very happy to receive your care and attention. Here, I am taught math and ethics by the teachers, and today, with the gifts, I am even more delighted.”

Sharing the same sentiment, Ms. Kim Ngoc Hien (a resident of Hon Chuoi Island) happily said: "The island is much more spacious and well-maintained now than it used to be. Whenever a delegation comes to visit, give gifts, or wish us a Happy New Year, the people here feel warm and very happy."

The delegation provided 11 gift packages for students at the charity class on Hon Chuoi Island.

The trip also provided an opportunity for VNPT Ca Mau leaders to directly assess the situation and develop appropriate infrastructure upgrade plans. Mr. Gia Thanh Nha emphasized: “This activity has further instilled a love for the islands and seas in each participating member, while also demonstrating the proactive and volunteer spirit of the unit's youth, ready to go anywhere to ensure smooth communication, share difficulties, and encourage the forces and people on the islands. With youthful energy, the unit's members always prioritize investing in telecommunications infrastructure on the islands, not only to bridge geographical distances but also to prepare a solid digital infrastructure foundation for the national digital transformation.”

The journey has come to an end, but new hopes have been opened. With smooth communication, the distance between the mainland and the remote islands seems to have narrowed, all working towards the goal of safeguarding the sacred sovereignty of the Fatherland's maritime territories.

Igniting the heroic spirit - Steadfast in service.

The sacred land of Con Dao in March seemed warmer thanks to the footsteps of the Ca Mau Provincial People's Committee Youth Union. More than just a trip, the "Continuing the Heroic Spirit - Steadfastly Serving" journey was a reunion of two generations: the generation of fathers and brothers who have become one with the waves, and the generation of today who carry the oath of service to continue writing the heroic epic of the nation. Amidst the sacred space of Hang Duong Cemetery, 36 Youth Union officials and outstanding members respectfully offered incense and bowed before the spirit of the heroine Vo Thi Sau and other outstanding sons and daughters of Ca Mau such as heroes Tran Van Thoi and Luong The Tran... The trip was made even more meaningful by the meeting and encouragement of the soldiers of the Con Dao Border Guard Post, strengthening the solidarity between the military and the people.

The "Igniting the Heroic Spirit - Steadfastly Serving" program in Con Dao attracted the participation of 36 youth union members.

The journey continued to the Con Dao prison system, once known as "hell on earth." Standing before the harsh "tiger cages" and viewing over 2,000 documents at the Con Dao Museum, each member deeply felt the steely will and indomitable spirit of their forefathers. Historical stories no longer remained on the pages of books but came alive, touching the hearts and national pride of the young people.

Listen to the explanations and learn about the history and landmarks at the Con Dao Museum.

“This program is not just a simple trip back to our roots, but a journey for each member to reflect on themselves in the face of the immense sacrifices of their forefathers. The flame of pride will be the driving force for the youth of the Provincial People's Committee to enhance their sense of discipline and dedication to serving the Fatherland and the People,” affirmed Ms. Quách Thị Thu Thảo, Secretary of the Youth Union of the Provincial People's Committee.

The emotion was also palpable in the sharing of Ms. Chau Thi Hong Tho (Secretary of the Youth Union of Vietnam-Korea Vocational College in Ca Mau): “Setting foot on Con Dao Island in the historic month of March is a great honor, and we will turn this pride into concrete actions in our professional work at the unit.”

Each journey spreads strong signals, connecting the mainland and the islands, the present and the glorious past, and the people's hearts with the military's solidarity. Today's youth understand that service is the best way to show gratitude, to continue working with the military and the people to safeguard the nation's airspace and waters, and to ensure that joy and peace are preserved forever.
