Phu Gia Youth implements anti-plastic waste model

Coming to Phu Gia, I felt a sense of familiarity mixed with excitement. There are still clean concrete roads winding between vast fields, between peaceful villages, but each time I come, there are more "sparkling" routes. Because on both sides are green trees and seasonal flowers; electric lights shine brightly when night falls. The national flag route with hundreds of red flags with yellow stars fluttering in the wind brings a sense of pride.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Suong, Secretary of Phu Gia Commune Youth Union, said: Almost every year, the unit builds a "Green - Clean - Beautiful - Bright" road, with the passion to extend the rows of green trees, flower banks, and lighting systems on all roads, contributing to building the appearance of a modern new rural commune of Phu Gia, in harmony with nature. With that passion, in 2023 and 2024, Phu Gia Commune Youth Union will build 2 new "Green - Clean - Beautiful - Bright - Safe" roads, with a total value of more than 50 million VND, which are welcomed by the people with great joy.

Joy spread when in early 2025, the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Phu Gia commune coordinated with local organizations and people, in which union members and youth (YVTN) were the core force, to build a "Green - clean - beautiful - bright" road, plant trees, flowers, and install a lighting system, with a total cost of 135 million VND.

“In addition to effectively implementing the Green Sunday movement, building, maintaining and expanding roads and lighting systems as mentioned above, Phu Gia Youth Union is the core force helping with house construction and repair, as well as providing practical support both materially and spiritually to poor, elderly and lonely households in the area, joining hands to build trust among the people,” said Mr. Le Van Minh, Secretary of the Phu Gia Commune Party Committee.

Since the beginning of the year, two poor households, Mrs. Ngo Thi Tam (nearly 80 years old) and Mrs. Nguyen Thi Song (nearly 60 years old) in Trung Ha village, have received help from the government and other units to build houses with a total cost of nearly 200 million VND. In particular, the commune's Youth Union is the core force, regardless of the sun or rain, to speed up the progress and complete the project soon, so that Mrs. Tam and Mrs. Song can soon stabilize their lives.

According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Suong, in addition to helping with house construction, the Commune Youth Union provided full support (both financial and labor) for installing electricity and water systems for Ms. Tam and Ms. Song's households. For most poor households in the area, Phu Gia Commune Youth Union supported clean water projects. It is hard to forget the warm smiles that brightened up the faces marked by hardship, when Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoa (Ha Tru Thuong village); Ms. Ho Thi Hieu, Truong Thi Ly (Trung Ha village), expressed their joy at the help of the Youth Union in building clean water projects, which for many years, due to economic difficulties, had been "stuck" in the plan.

The joy continued when Phu Gia Commune Youth Union coordinated with the Commune Women's Union to successfully organize an art performance, raising funds to repair houses for poor households, receiving great support, with an amount of more than 63 million VND and loving messages.

According to the Secretary of the Phu Gia Commune Party Committee, Mr. Le Van Minh, the Youth Union members in the commune are all clearly aware of their role and responsibility towards their families and society; enthusiastically participate in movements and activities in the locality, are increasingly proactive in establishing themselves and their careers, are dynamic and creative in labor, production, and study... contributing many achievements in the socio-economic development of the locality and achieving many results in many fields, contributing with the Party Committee, government and people of the whole commune to build Phu Gia homeland to develop more and more.

In the period of 2023 - 2025, Phu Gia Commune Union was honored to receive 6 certificates of merit from the Provincial Youth Union (now the City Youth Union), certificates of merit from Phu Vang district and Phu Gia commune.
