# Rural Construction Work at Go-Vap District: New Market at An-Nhon

A landscape sheet shows, in five photographs, the rebuilding of a market at An-Nhon in Go-Vap district: the unbuilt site, soldiers and villagers including children clearing drains and laying bricks, and the finished market crowded with traders. The captions say villagers had to meet in dirty, unhygienic conditions before the rebuild, and that soldiers and civilians worked together to give 'a spacious, convenient market for trade'. The tell is the before-and-after sequence with troops working beside the community, offered as the result of the government's rural construction effort.

RURAL CONSTRUCTION WORK IN GO-VAP DISTRICT
NEW MARKET AT AN-NHON

Before the market was rebuilt, the people of An-Nhon village had to gather on a dirty, muddy site lacking sanitation.

The solidarity of army and people has brought real benefits.

Soldier brothers and the people, including the children, have joined hands in the rebuilding.

After the repairs the people have a spacious, convenient market for trade and daily life.
