MOVE "NEST"
Mr. Vo Quoc Si, working at the Department of Science and Technology of Dong Thap province, and his wife, Ms. Dang Thi Bich Tram, working at the Department of Home Affairs of the province, quickly packed their luggage and made plans to take care of their children to move to My Tho ward to work.

Mr. Si and Ms. Tram's new "home" is a small attic room in an alley in Dao Thanh ward. The small room is only a few dozen square meters, but it has become a warm home, where every afternoon Mr. Si and Ms. Tram gather with their two children.
Recently, the People's Council of Dong Thap province promptly approved an extremely humane policy, which is to support living and accommodation expenses, a timely decision demonstrating the deep support of the provincial government. According to this policy, each officer will receive 5.1 million VND/month, including: 2.6 million VND for travel expenses and 2.5 million VND for accommodation expenses. This support will be maintained for the first 24 months, with a total estimated budget of nearly 56 billion VND per year. This is not just a number, but also a strong commitment from the provincial leaders, a practical sharing to reduce financial pressure, helping children who do not hesitate to leave their familiar "nest" to be able to work with peace of mind and stabilize their family life. |
Talking about the first days of moving, Mr. Si shared: "Although the children are still young, one is 4 years old, the other is only 8 months old, although we know that moving from Cao Lanh ward to My Tho ward is very difficult for the small family, but when receiving instructions from superiors, my wife and I tried to arrange to quickly move to the new place to continue working."
For young families like Mr. Si and Ms. Tram, moving to a new place means a big change in life. Mr. Si confided that the cost of living in My Tho is higher than in Cao Lanh, so the family's spending is affected a lot. With the spirit of complying with the policies of the Party and the State, the family will do their best to fulfill the tasks assigned by the Party and the State.
The story of Mr. Si and Ms. Tram's family is not an isolated case. There are people who have to temporarily leave their children in the countryside with relatives because they have not yet settled on a place to live. Images of rushing after work, video calls to chat with children through the phone screen have become a daily occurrence, clearly depicting the silent sacrifices of cadres, civil servants and public employees.
STABLE WITH NEW TASKS
One of the biggest concerns of young families, especially mothers who have to raise children alone, is finding a stable school for their children. Ms. Vo Ngoc Linh, working at the Department of Health of Dong Thap province, although she quickly adapted well to the new working environment and received attention and support from her leaders and colleagues, worries about her children are always present in her mind.

“What I am concerned about now is transferring schools and finding a place for my child to study. I hope to get my child into a school near my workplace, so that it will be more convenient to pick him up and drop him off,” Linh confided.
As for Mr. Tran Vo Trung Cuong, currently working at the Department of Finance of Dong Thap province, he shared that when moving far away, the expenses incurred were higher than in Cao Lanh. However, Mr. Cuong still affirmed: "Putting aside all the initial difficulties, I started working very actively. The support of the agency's leaders and colleagues also helped me to overcome the difficulties, quickly stabilizing my mentality to carry out the tasks assigned by the Party and the State."
The initiative, consensus and mutual support have become a solid support for Dong Thap people who go far away from home for work. Over the past month, many colleagues have become neighbors, sharing and helping each other stabilize their lives.
From finding a place to live together, going to the market together, cooking together to taking care of the children, the colleagues have become "one family", helping them overcome the initial bewilderment. That spirit of solidarity and mutual love has eased the difficulties, giving the cadres, civil servants and public employees strength to firmly carry out their duties.
Director of Dong Thap Province Department of Home Affairs Nguyen Van Vu Minh said: “Over the past month, although at first, cadres, civil servants and public employees still encountered difficulties in arranging new work, food and accommodation, overcoming those difficulties, cadres, civil servants and public employees still upheld their sense of responsibility and completed well the tasks assigned by their superiors.
Those efforts are very valuable, because they show the spirit of overcoming difficulties and proactive adaptation of cadres, civil servants and public employees. You have well implemented the policies of the provincial and central leaders, to serve the people well.
When the silent sacrifices are understood, the daily worries are shared, the journey of “residing” will no longer be lonely. The support of the government has become a solid support, turning the initial challenges into motivation for cadres, civil servants and public employees to continue to contribute, promote the spirit of dedication to the people, and the new development of the province.
