Mr. A Pruih, 68 years old, Ba Na ethnic group, village elder of Kon Mo Nay So Lam 1 village (Truong Chinh ward, Kon Tum city) has always lived by the motto "practice what you preach". Thanks to that, he has been trusted and entrusted with the responsibility of being the village elder since 2005.
Confiding in us, village elder A Pruih said: To propagate and mobilize villagers to listen and follow him, first of all, he must live well, be a pioneer in campaigns and emulation movements launched by all levels and sectors such as: "Changing the thinking and working style of ethnic minorities, helping ethnic minorities to escape poverty sustainably", "All people unite to build a cultural life", "Join hands to build new rural areas, civilized urban areas", "Farmers compete in good production and business"...
He and his wife had 9 children and raised them properly. Of his 9 children, 4 work in government agencies and units; 3 are party members, and one son is currently the Party Secretary of Quang Trung Ward (Kon Tum City). In life, he always taught his children to live in harmony with the villagers, to love and help those who are less fortunate than themselves.
Currently, the couple lives with their youngest son. The family grows two crops of rice on two acres, grows bananas on four acres, raises nine cows and ten pigs, and has a stable life.

As a person with a moral and ethical life, a harmonious family, and successful children, his voice is always listened to and followed by the villagers. He shared that at first, there were people who did not listen, often gathered to drink alcohol, and lived unhygienic lives, but with the method of "slow and steady wins the race", many times coming to the house to talk, analyze right and wrong, encourage hard work, raise good children, and take care of the family's economic life, so gradually they understood, listened, and followed, giving up bad habits.
Through village meetings, he disseminated new policies of the Party and State, and legal documents for people to understand and follow. He regularly visited each household to propagate and mobilize people to change their thinking and way of doing, to comply with the policies of the Party and the laws of the State; and to implement the village's conventions and regulations.
In addition, every Saturday, he mobilizes people to participate in cleaning their houses and communal houses, and also encourages people to plant flowers and ornamental plants along the roads in the village to create a landscape, ensuring a fresh, green - clean - beautiful living environment.
The village has 356 households and 1,592 people, of which 196 are ethnic minorities and 840 people. Thanks to hard work and thrifty spending, the income of the people has been increasing. Up to now, there are no families living in temporary houses in the village; the number of poor households has decreased to 11 compared to 5 years ago (50 households); the number of households with an average or higher standard of living and the number of well-off and rich households has increased significantly compared to previous years.
Thanks to Mr. A Pruih's contribution, in recent years, Kon Mo Nay So Lam 1 village has changed a lot. The appearance of the residential area is spacious and clean; 99% of the village roads and alleys are concreted or asphalted. There are no longer any livestock barns near houses, every house has fences, flowers, ornamental plants, and beautiful green vegetables.
Mr. Nguyen Quoc Viet - Chairman of Truong Chinh Ward People's Committee said: Mr. A Pruih is a prestigious village elder in the community. Thanks to his contributions, Kon Mo Nay So Lam 1 village has many positive changes in socio-economic development and sustainable poverty reduction.
