BẮC GIANG —Bắc Giang Provincial Police’s Youth and Women Committees have recently launched a heartwarming initiative, 'Companion–Share-Connect with Love,' at Sa Lý Commune, Lục Ngạn District.
The initiative, held in commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the People's Public Security Forces and the 20th anniversary of National Security Day, focused on supporting the local community and building social ties.
Key activities included renovating two dilapidated houses in the commune to provide secure housing for vulnerable families and repainting the Sa Lý Martyrs' Cemetery as a gesture of respect and remembrance.
The committee officers also installed a security camera system for local police use and guided residents on creating online accounts and registering for public services. They also conducted legal education workshops at a local secondary school and offered 40 gift packages to children and families in need.

The initiative was financed by donations from police personnel across the province, approximately VNĐ80 million (US$3,200) in value. The donations included cash and a variety of goods, ranging from essential supplies to more specialised items such as solar panels.
Head of the Youth Committee Đoàn Văn Phương cites the initiative as a valuable opportunity for political and ideological education within the police force. By engaging in activities that benefit society, police officers cultivate a sense of empathy, responsibility, and dedication to public service.
On the same day, Bắc Giang Provincial Police also hosted a cultural exchange night with the local community, further strengthening bonds and building a positive image of police officers.
Sa Lý is one of the most economically challenged communes in the province, inhabited primarily by Sán Chí and Tày ethnic minorities. Agriculture and forestry are their primary livelihoods, with 9.24 per cent of households classified as poor and 12.97 per cent near-poor. — VNS
