This is the second year of the Bo Lang Resettlement Area. Moving to Bo Lang Resettlement Area, the residents are safe and secure without evacuation worry because of natural disasters. Like last year, the residents have received much concern and support with New Year gifts from local authorities, agencies and benefactors. The Youth Union of the Commune Youth Information Culture has a plan to organize a New Year musical show at the community house, according to Ha Nhon, Head of Bo Lang Village.
Like other families in Gia Loi Resettlement Area in Giang Ly Commune, Ha Tham’s family is delighted to have sufficient food and other necessities for the New Year holiday. His family has moved here for 1 year and has enjoyed a stable life. Every day, he still works on the mountainous field of wheat, corn and rice and works for hire in post-harvest time to earn more income.
Much concern and support
Khanh Vinh District currently has 3 resettlement areas, two of which, Bo Lang and Gia Loi, are inhabited. The resettlement areas have adequate infrastructures with houses, roads, electricity and clean water supply. The 7.5ha Bo Lang Resettlement Area inhabited by 142 since 2017 has an investment of VND14.5 billion. Gia Loi Resettlement Area, 5ha, with an investment of VND18.5 billion has 84 families living since 2018. Khanh Vinh Township Resettlement Area, 1.86ha, is currently uninhabited.
Son Thai is one of the poorest communes of Khanh Vinh. Therefore, the commune is often offered gifts, including food, foodstuff and cash for Tet holiday by local agencies. In 2018, Son Thai saw much progress with a decrease in poor families, bringing the rate of poor families down to 66%. Local residents have been given New Year gifts with cakes and cash. Especially, priority has been given to residents in the resettlement area. The commune has provided agricultural land for poor families in the resettlement area, developed poverty alleviation models and given more New Year gifts to the resettlement community, according to Ca Tam, Chairperson of Son Thai Commune People’s Committee.
Residents in Gia Loi Resettlement Area have also received much concern from the commune authority. Residents in the commune have received gifts, apart from 15kg of rice for each family to help food shortages in the between-crop thanks to the aid of local agencies in support of the commune. Besides, families in Gia Loi Resettlement Area have been offered a pan set funded by Khanh Hoa Red Cross. The Commune is making procedures to grant residential land certificates to 84 households in the Resettlement Area and provide 15ha of agricultural land for poor families in need of land for farming, reports Pi Nang Ha Duy, Vice-Chairman of Giang Ly Commune People’s Committee.
