Army Unit Provides Food to Ethnic Minority Groups

Company 72 of the Corps 15 (the Defense Ministry) held a congress for 210 representatives representing some 3,000 cadres and soldiers on April 27th. Over the past time, the company overcame its current difficulties and expanded the acreage under rubber production as well as recruited more employees from the ethnic groups. Besides, it also carried out training courses to promote their skills and increase labor productivity. This in turn would increase their income and living standards. Especially, Company 72 multiplied its movement of “Solidarity rice jar” with the participation of more than 1,000 households and since 2012, the company has collected more than 22 tons of rice for local needy ethnic minority people. In addition, the company also began planting rubber trees in its two twinned villages in Ozadao and Bo Keo districts in Cambodia. (Quan Doi Nhan Dan – Quan Doi Nhan Dan – People’s Army April 28)
