The Anchor of the People's Hearts at the Dak Wil Frontier

From Everyday Stories

In K'Nha Village, Dak Wil Commune, prestigious individual La Thi Cong has grown accustomed to greeting and asking after neighbors whenever they cross paths. These conversations often revolve around harvests, business ventures, or the challenges of daily life.

Through these simple interactions, she gains insight into the thoughts and feelings of the residents, offering timely support and encouragement while working together to find solutions to issues arising within the community.

As a prestigious figure among ethnic minority communities, Cong understands that to earn the trust and cooperation of the people, she must first set a good example and match her words with actions.

Therefore, she does not limit her community outreach efforts to meetings; instead, she proactively visits individual households, explains matters that residents may not fully understand, and encourages everyone to obey the law, actively engage in labor and production, and help one another through hardships.

"Whenever I meet people on the street or anywhere else, I often ask about their business and health. Occasionally, I drop by their homes to encourage them to maintain security and order, avoid breaking the law, and focus on working hard. Being close to the people allows me to promptly understand their situation in the village," La Thi Cong shared.

Alongside Cong, prestigious individual Y Nuan Nie KDam in K'Nha Village is also steadfast in his mass mobilization work. For him, dissemination is not merely about talking to residents, but more importantly, ensuring that they understand, trust, and voluntarily follow the guidance provided.

Dissemination must be easy to understand, reaching every alley and knocking on every door. The messages must be practical, timely, and appropriate; special attention must be paid to the target audience.

From that perspective, he always collaborates with local Party committees and authorities to disseminate the Party's guidelines and the State's policies and laws to the people. He explains issues related to security, order, and the risk of exploitation by bad actors seeking to undermine national unity in accessible language that resonates with residents' daily experiences.

Deeply attached to the borderland and understanding the value of national border sovereignty, prestigious individuals in K'Nha Village, such as Cong and Y Nuan, also actively mobilize local residents to participate in the self-management of border areas and markers, safeguarding the Fatherland's frontier.

Through their prestige and sense of responsibility, they have contributed to bringing guidelines and policies closer to the people. Mobilization messages stemming from sincerity and tied to the practical interests of the community thus gain public support and encourage active participation.

Contributing to Building Their Homeland

Beyond their persistent efforts to mobilize residents to maintain security and order, prestigious individuals in Dak Wil are also key figures in economic development movements and new-style rural development. The story of prestigious individual Ban Giao Trinh in Doan Ket Hamlet is a testament to this.

Having served as a hamlet chief for over 20 years and as a prestigious individual for many years, Trinh has devoted considerable effort to community affairs. He understands that for people's lives to improve, alongside each family's hard work, the community needs adequate infrastructure, a clean and beautiful living environment, and a strong sense of community.

When the local authorities campaigned for the construction of rural roads, not every household readily agreed from the outset. Economic conditions varied, and contributing money, land, and assets on the land were matters that required careful consideration. Trinh persevered in explaining the benefits of the project so that residents could understand the long-term benefits of these roads for travel, transporting agricultural products, and agricultural development.

As consensus gradually emerged, residents joined hands to contribute labor and resources to infrastructure construction. To date, more than 3.5 kilometers of rural roads have been built and hundreds of streetlights installed in Doan Ket Hamlet, with total public contributions amounting to billions of VND.

Better roads and well-lit streets not only change the appearance of the residential area but also demonstrate the strength of solidarity. Behind these results lies a process of persistent advocacy, in which prestigious individuals have consistently taken the lead, set an example, and built trust to encourage residents to participate.

According to Hoang Van Tam, Chairman of the Dak Wil Commune People's Committee, prestigious individuals play an important role in disseminating information and mobilizing residents, especially in areas with large ethnic minority populations and border areas.

“

The locality will continue to pay attention to and create conditions for prestigious individuals to fulfill their role within the community; it will also strengthen coordination between local authorities, mass organizations, and relevant agencies in disseminating information and mobilizing the people.

In Dak Wil, each prestigious individual chooses their own approach, but all aim for the common goal of building a united, stable, and prosperous community. Some persistently visit residents and listen to their concerns; others steadfastly disseminate information to protect the border region; and still others mobilize residents to join hands in building roads and lighting up residential areas. These actions may begin with small things, but when carried out with responsibility and sincerity, they create a long-lasting ripple effect.

Peace in the villages is thus preserved not only through regulations or management measures, but is also nurtured through trust, sharing, and a shared sense of responsibility for the community. Prestigious individuals such as La Thi Cong, Y Nuan Nie KDam, and Ban Giao Trinh are helping connect the Party's will with the people's hearts, enabling residents to join hands in building an increasingly peaceful and prosperous Dak Wil homeland.
