As the head of the commune's women's association, her family's economy is still difficult, but her family still voluntarily donated more than 100 square meters of land to join the villagers in completing the site clearance and expanding the village's traffic route to over 230 meters long and 4.5 meters wide. Ms. Do Thi Khanh shared: "As a village cadre, I have actively promoted and mobilized households to participate in donating land to build roads. With love for my homeland as well as the desire for the village roads and alleys to be expanded, spacious, and clean, my family agreed to demolish fences, auxiliary works, and cut down many fruit trees to expand the traffic route in the village."

Following the Party Secretary of Phap Ngo village, Trinh Ngoc Hoan, to each household to mobilize land for road construction, he realized the significance of the consensus of the people participating in the movement. While explaining the convenience in traffic and production when the roads were expanded, he also encouraged the people to join hands and unite with the locality to invest in building rural traffic infrastructure, contributing to socio-economic development and improving people's lives.

Mr. Hoan shared: “In order to gain the people's solidarity and participation, right from the time of the policy of upgrading and expanding the traffic roads, the commune has organized public meetings throughout the political system from units, organizations to households in the spirit of "People know, people discuss, people do, people benefit". Determining this as a major policy with a breakthrough in investing in building rural traffic infrastructure, the village front work committee has focused on mobilizing people to respond to the movement of donating land for road construction. The Party cell has built a resolution, the village has organized meetings for people to discuss and has received high approval from the people. Donating land and dismantling residential buildings to build roads has become a widespread movement and is developing strongly in the village. Up to now, the village has 48 households donating land with 1,816.8m2".

Vinh Hoa Commune Party Secretary Trinh Dinh Minh said: The movement of donating land for rural roads and intra-field roads is receiving special attention and strong direction from the Party Committee and the government, and is enthusiastically supported by the villages and people. Currently, the whole commune has about 320 households volunteering to donate land for roads, with a total area of 4,090.5 square meters; of which about 1,800 square meters is residential land; 2,290.5 square meters is agricultural land. A typical example is Phap Ngo village, although it is a Catholic village, the people are very sympathetic to donating land for roads, the whole village has 69 households participating in donating land with an area of up to thousands of square meters.
