Command was chosen to pilot the model "Accompanying children to
school" which was initiated by Col. Bui Van Hung, former Political
Commissar of the district Military High Command. The model has been implemented
since 2015. The command partnered with the local Division of Education and
Training, authorities of communes and townships to review the list of poor households
to provide support, as well as encourage army units stationed in the area to
join the effort. The command has so far presented 388 bicycles, 24 learning
spaces, 150 backpacks, and scholarships each worth 2 million VND to 16 students
per academic year, totaling 629 million VND.

students materially and spiritually. With timely assistance, many of them could
continue going to school. The model has increasingly spread in the provincial
armed forces and the society. Many individuals and collectives offered
donations and presented hundreds of bicycles to underprivileged students. Since
its launch in 2015, the provincial Military Command donated 2,349 bicycles, one
