On the morning of July 15, a delegation of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee and Ho Chi Minh City Youth Union attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the repair of Trang Van Hoc bridge, Binh My A hamlet, Binh Thanh commune, Cao Lanh district, Dong Thap province.

Ms. Nguyen Mai Chi - Chairman of Binh Thanh Commune People's Committee - said that Trang Van Hoc bridge (named after the former Secretary of Ho Chi Minh City Youth Union) was built in 2000 and has now deteriorated.

"This is an inter-hamlet bridge serving 3,000 households with about 800 students. The total cost of the new construction is about 600 million VND, of which the Ho Chi Minh City Youth Union, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology - Vietnam National University sponsor 70%, and the locality contributes 30%," said Ms. Chi.

Mr. Ngo Minh Hai - Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Youth Union - shared that Cao Lanh district is a place that the Ho Chi Minh City Youth Union always considers a red address to organize for young people to visit every year during Tet.

"This bridge was built by the hands of students and local people, using their own efforts, working days and feelings to repair and restore the bridge.

The main task was assigned to students from the University of Science and Technology, who are specialized in construction. Hopefully, with the support of local leaders, this bridge will be completed soon and the City Youth Union will return to inaugurate it together," said Mr. Hai.

The delegation also visited the Young Intellectual Volunteer Team at Tan Kieu Secondary School, Tan Kieu Commune, Thap Muoi District, Dong Thap Province.
