New Dantri bridge to be built in Nghe An
Dantri Newspaper has started construction of a new bridge in a mountainous district of Nghe An Province.
During the rainy season, the residents are threatened by floods. The bridge was often submerged underwater or swept away so the pupils couldn't go to school.
"The pupils had to stay home for a whole week. We also couldn't go anywhere else and had to wait until the water receded," said Moong Pho Vuong, party secretary of Na Kho.
"The children there have very difficult backgrounds. Some live with grandparents after their parents divorced. Others' fathers died or they were abandoned by their mothers. Their meals only have rice with chilli sauce and sometimes there are bamboo shoots. But they are good children," he said.
The representatives of Dantri, Garment 10 JSC and Ky Son District People's Committee attended the groundbreaking ceremony on October 8.
Vi Thi Quyen, vice chairwoman of Ky Son District People's Committee, said, "We are really grateful to Dantri Newspaper and Garment 10 Company. The new bridge will help boost the local economy and ensure children's safety."
"The bridge is our dream comes true. We will not be isolated anymore in the next rainy season and the children can still go to school. I just want to say thank you," said Moong Van Xieng, head of Na Kho Village.
The new bridge will be 15 metres long, 1.5 metres wide and would cost over VND400m (USD17,200). This is the 17th Dantri bridge in Vietnam.
