(HBO) – Do Thi Hoa, a woman in Can I hamlet of the mountainous commune of Doc Lap (Ky Son district), impresses other people with her decisiveness, dynamism, creativity and numerous contributions to the locality.
Do Thi Hoa shares experience in making packing materials with
a worker at her workshop.
Hoa and her husband started their business from
zero. They used to farm crops and livestock and do everything they can to earn
their living while keeping alive their dream of getting rich.
In 2006, she learned the "chit” (Thysanolaena
latifolia) broom making techniques from her friends and via media. She realised
that both "chit” supply and local workforce were abundant while many local
women had to go to other localities to seek job during between-harvest period.
Therefore, she decided to borrow money to invest in "chit” brooms production.
With initial successes in making and selling
"chit” brooms, Hoa had some money to continue the production and buying a car
to deliver products.
Thanks to her efforts, hundreds of local
labourers gained an additional job with a monthly income of 2 – 3 million VND.
However, Hoa’s dream did not stop there. She kept seeking ways to find less
strenuous work with more stable income for her workers.
She decided to equip machinery to make
supermarket bags and then packing materials for factories. She owns 18 sewing
machines at present, providing stable jobs and average monthly income of 4 – 5
million VND (about 175 – 220 USD) for workers.
Bui Thi Tam from Song hamlet, who has worked for
Hoa for more than 10 years, said Hoa is an example of exerting efforts in life
and work whom she and many other women admire. According to Tam, Hoa treats
other people as her family members.
Tam said she and many women in the commune are
grateful to Hoa for creating jobs and helping raise their families’ income
while they don’t have to work faraway. At Hoa’s workshop, they also have a
chance to receive vocational training and meet many other women. The life of
her family has also become more stable./.

From the fact that the market takes place only every Tuesday, Bo market in Van Son commune (Tan Lac) officially takes place every Sunday from March 24. Thereby, the aim is to turn the market into a place promoting the cultural identity of Muong people in Hoa Binh and the consumption of goods and products of the neighboring communes, meeting the needs of tourists for the local products when travelling to Van Son at weekends.
