Ms. Dung shared: Before, my family lived in a degraded house, every time it rained, my relatives would go to their relatives' house to stay. Thanks to the help of the Fatherland Front at all levels and the local government, my family has a new house, I am very happy, from now on my family does not have to worry every time the rainy season comes...
