(HBO) – More than 90 percent of households which account for over 90 percent of population in Hoang Dong hamlet (Khoan Du commune, Lac Thuy district, northern mountainous Hoa Binh province) are Catholics. Upholding the tradition of "Hoang Dong Party Group”, the hamlet leads the whole commune in the "Study and talent encouragement” emulation movement over the past years.
The hamlet
is now home to 157 households, 140 of them are Catholics. In 2017, the average
income of the hamlet reached 47 million VND per person, which is expected to
hit 48 million VND this year. The improved lives have prompted local residents
pay more attention to study encouragement. Specifically, all families put money
in "piggy banks” and follow the campaign "Drum for study encouragement” which
are maintained regularly and effectively. Their children in school age could
learn in quiet study corners with adequate lighting and suitable tables and
desks. Several households built family bookcases to foster their children’s
reading habit.

The
launch of the study encouragement fund has been welcomed by local residents. Each
year, the hamlet urges each household to contribute 30,000 VND to the fund. Therefore,
the fund could raise over 5 million VND each year. The hamlet withdraws part of
the fund to present gifts to students with outstanding academic performances
during each Mid-Autumn festival.
In
particular, the hamlet also sponsors poor students achieving excellent study
results. The Party Cell of Hoang Dong hamlet now sponsors three poor students
while the war veterans’ association also actively supports the study
encouragement fund.
Thanks to
regular support from the Party Committee and authorities to study encouragement
over the past years, Hoang Dong hamlet has recorded no dropouts and increasing
number of students with fair and outstanding academic performances. In 2017,
three local students were admitted to universities and colleges. This year’s
number was four. More than 82 percent of local households meet "cultural
family” standards this year./.
