They still face many difficulties in life as they mainly depend on animal breeding and agricultural cultivation. The commune has 600 poor families, accounting for 40% of the commune’s total population.
During the trip, the mission presented 200 packs of gifts, each worth of 500,000 VND to local families in need.
Although the gifts were not very valuable, but they demonstrated the sentiments and empathy of the CAND Newspaper and BIDV for local people. The newspaper and donor hoped that the gifts could bring a warmer Tet to border people.
