ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT CONSTRUCTION COMMENCEMENT OF TAN HIEP PIPE CULVERT

While urban children are able to attend school day by day and are cared for with food, clothing, play, and entertainment, in remote areas, mountainous children who only dream of going to school easily, having a good education and having development opportunities to help the poor country to thrive are still deprived and difficult. Towards sharing with difficult and unhappy lives in society and spreading love in the community, The Charity Club Warm With Love, in collaboration with The Fund for Vietnamese Children, has implemented the program “BUILD BRIDGES FOR CHILDREN TO GO TO SCHOOL” aims to create better conditions for children to go to school safely and continue to realize their dreams of approaching knowledge.

With survey and approval criteria based on locations in mountainous, remote, traffic-difficult areas that are adjacent to schools / classrooms with no bridges or damaged bridges that make students go to school are in danger during the flood and rainy season, with at least 100 children going to school or using the construction every day (from preschool to junior high school) and receiving local support for site clearance resources, creating the road to the culvert, Son Hoi commune is one of the typical poor mountainous and remote areas that The Club sponsor to build a strong pipe culvert, the first project of the program, connecting two villages of Tan Luong and Tan Hiep.

Son Hoi commune is a mountainous commune in the west of Son Hoa district. The people live mainly on agriculture such as planting sugarcane, cassava and raising cows. However, the land is arid and drought, so people’s lives are very difficult. As a locality with many rivers, streams and complex terrain, the transportation of students and people is difficult, especially in the rainy season. Most of the bridges and culverts in the area have been constructed since 1995 from the capital of the number 134-135 program and have not been repaired for a long time, in addition to the change of water flows. Therefore, bridges and culverts are seriously degraded, unable to travel, especially in the rainy season. Existing Tan Hiep pipe culvert, 25 years old (5m wide, 1.3m high), is the only project serving the movement of people and pupils of Tan Hiep and Tan Luong villages. When the rainy and flood season prolongs, the spring water rises over 2.5 meters above the culvert surface, blocking local traffic, making it impossible for all households, as well as students, to cross. Every rainy season, the Commune People’s Committee assigns staff to coordinate with the school, parents and students to take students to and from school to avoid causing the floodwaters to be swept away.

The land is arid and drought so people’s lives are very difficult.

Due to the complicated terrain, the transportation of students and people is difficult, especially in the rainy season.

Existing Tan Hiep pipe culvert, 25 years old (5m wide, 1.3m high), is the only project serving the movement of people and pupils of Tan Hiep and Tan Luong villages.

In this situation, The Charity Club Warm With Love quickly conducted a technical survey and unanimously approved the construction documents of Tan Hiep pipe culvert in order to create better conditions for children to go to school safely, for people to move smoothly, shorten the distance between difficult areas, join hands to support the dream of escaping poverty and have a brighter future. Tan Hiep pipe culvert construction, with the size of 2 x (4.4 x 3.0) m perpendicular to the existing road center, length of culverts L = 13.00m, combined with upgrading height, making concrete pavement cement with a total length of 72.47m, have estimated cost of over 2 billion VND. According to Construction License No. 695 / UBND-GPTC issued by Son Hoa District People’s Committee on August 12^th, 2020. Estimated construction time is 3 months.
