# Bạc Liêu xây dựng (Bac Lieu Builds)

A Vietnamese-language photo sheet (code SP-1909) shows rural-construction cadres and villagers rebuilding a school and an access road in Bac Lieu province, ruined buildings it blames on the Viet Cong, and uniformed officers of the National Leadership Committee touring two 'new life hamlets' among crowds of children. The closing banner says 'The people are the initiative, first and last; cadres and government campaign together to build the village.' Official visitors and the pictured villagers are offered as evidence that the people have joined in.
