Nam said that he and his wife dropped out of school when they were small and their health is so poor; hence, the dream of building a new house seems to be impossible to them especially when their children were born. Fortunately, Nam’s family received financial aid to build a new house from the Youth Union.

During our journey to Dong Tam, we had a talk with Le Dinh Luong, Secretary of the Party Cell cum Head of Hoanh Village, Dong Tam Commune. Despite taking up the position since February 2020, Luong witnesses the considerable changes in the life of Hoanh villagers. These changes result from the all-out efforts of the local as well as the material and spiritual concern of leaders at all levels and organizations.

“The locally cultural tradition has been preserved. The sport and art activities have been promoted. If it had not been the COVID-19 pandemic, the football tournament to celebrate Vietnam's National Day also could have taken place”, said Bui Van Thin, cadre in charge of culture in Dong Tam commune.
