On June 28, the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of "For Vietnamese Stature Foundation - No 3 Bridge" was held in Nam Duong village, Sinh Long commune, Na Hang district, Tuyen Quang province.
The bridge is located at the stream connecting to Nam Duong village, Sinh Long Ward. This is the living area of 95 households of Dao ethnic group, with more than 70% of them being poor and under living condition. Currently, people are taking advantage of the available rock at the stream to commute when the water is shallow. When it rains and floods, people cannot walk and children have to stay home.
The construction of the VSF Bridge will help people to travel safely, especially during flood season, as well as reduce traffic pressure and boost the local economy. The bridge also has a special meaning, marking the 5-year journey of connecting the community established by VSF. This is a gift from Ms. Thai Huong - Chairwoman of VSF’s Management Board on behalf of herself, on the occasion of VSF’s5th anniversary of establishment.
To carry out this significant project, VSF, in collaboration with Tien Phong Newspaper, Tuyen Quang Provincial Youth Union, District Commissioner, District People's Committee and Na Hang District Youth Union, also called for youth union members and local people to contribute labor, local materials and contractors to build the bridge.
Previously, VSF built the first bridge in Khuoi Luon village, Huu San ward, Bac Quang district, Ha Giang province in 2018 (in collaboration with Dan Tri Newspaper), and the second bridge in Thanh Loc hamlet, Trung Thanh ward, Co Do district, Can Tho city in 2019 (in collaboration with Hope Foundation).
