The image of soldiers and people pouring concrete, building flower beds, planting ornamental trees, erecting fences, digging drainage ditches, and renovating school grounds and cultural houses has become familiar. That unanimity and determination not only creates a new look for the countryside but also ignites a spirit of meaningful solidarity and sharing.

Officers and soldiers of Regiment 841 help Dong Hoa Vinh village (Cam Xuyen commune, Ha Tinh province) build drainage ditches.

Mrs. Hoang Thi Loan in Uu Trang village, Cam Xuyen commune, although over 70 years old, still actively supports the soldiers in moving bricks to build irrigation ditches. Talking to us, she said: “Thank you soldiers for coming to help our Uu Trang village build a new countryside. You are truly Uncle Ho's soldiers. The village is now clean and beautiful, its appearance has changed, the villagers see the enthusiasm of the soldiers so everyone loves and is happy, many people join hands and contribute.”

Previously, many households in Hamlet 5, Cam Xuyen Commune were poor households. Thanks to the model of "Escape from poverty in religious areas" deployed in the area, Regiment 841 has coordinated with local authorities to support disadvantaged families in a comprehensive manner, from livestock, crops to enthusiastic guidance on production and livestock raising techniques. Officers and soldiers also regularly visit homes to help families renovate their houses, improve their gardens and develop their economy . With that support, combined with the support of local Party committees, authorities and departments, branches and organizations, in 2024, 2 Catholic families in Hamlet 5 rose up to escape poverty.

Lieutenant Colonel Tran Cong Mao, Political Commissar of Regiment 841, said: In early 2024, the Regiment and Cam Quang commune, Cam Xuyen district (now part of Cam Xuyen commune) signed a twinning ceremony and approved a program to coordinate the implementation of the Project "Improving the quality and effectiveness of mass mobilization work in the period of 2023-2030 and the following years".

Directed the Youth Union and Women's Union to coordinate with local organizations to organize cultural, artistic, physical education and sports exchange activities; visit and give gifts to policy families and people with revolutionary contributions...

The leaders of Cam Xuyen commune all affirmed to us: The Party Committee, government, and people of Cam Quang commune in the past and Cam Xuyen commune at present highly appreciate and are grateful for the contributions of the soldiers of Regiment 841. With their responsibility and affection, they have supported the people in eliminating hunger and reducing poverty, accompanied the locality in building new rural areas, contributed to strengthening the solidarity between the army and the people, solidarity between religions and non-religious people, and enhanced the qualities of Uncle Ho's soldiers in the hearts of the people.
