There are 146 villages and hamlets in the district, in which 46 villages are having economic difficulties with more than tens of thousands of students short of school textbooks. Mr. Dinh Van Dung, the Secretary of the District Party Committee, Chairman of the district People's Council responded, "On behalf of the local government authorities, we are thankful for THAGRICO support. The donation is meaningful both materially and spiritually to help the children with their schoolwork. We will put these textbooks into the schools' libraries in turns year after year to make sure that no students lack textbooks, every student will have their own textbooks."
