Paving the way for development
As an area bordering Ho Chi Minh City, land is a valuable asset, but when Phuoc Ly commune, Can Giuoc district mobilized people to donate land to upgrade and expand roads, Mr. Nguyen Cong Hau (Phu An hamlet) did not hesitate. Mr. Hau shared: “The commune sent people to mobilize households to donate land to build roads, my family donated about 1,000 square meters of land. That opening roads not only helps students travel easily but also creates convenience for people in trading, thereby bettering the future”.
