Meeting |
VAV’s campaign has been carried
out fully for four years.
The campaign has attracted the
broader participation of VAV staff and members nationwide, contributing to
making Ho Chi Minh’s ideology and moral example more vivid in VAV’s political
life.
In particular, VAV has associated
the campaign with practical activities: thrift and waste combat to make itself
clean and strong.
VAV has maintained the Party’s
lines and views and preserved political security and public safety and order.
At the Party congress at all
levels (2010-2015 term), VAV officers and members enthusiastically contributed
ideas on the congress’s documents and personnel.
Over 60 percent of veterans were
elected to take the positions at the levels of the Party committees in their
localities.
Another outstanding activity of
VAV is the campaign of hunger elimination, poverty reduction, leaked houses
eradication and helping each other do business and get rich legally.
Until now, VAV has raised more
than VND10 billion to make loans for veterans with the aim of helping them
promote their production activities and to stabilize their lives.
Currently nearly 50 percent of
veteran households have become rich and pretty rich.
Thanks to the launch of this
campaign, many VAV groups and members have done many good and useful things for
the collective, the community and the country to contribute to honoring the
quality of "Uncle Ho's Troops" in a new period.
