The Commune Police Chief is working with the head of Tao kin 

Visiting Ban Xeo commune, our first feeling is not only the ripening terraced fields and vast green forests, but also house with rice straw roof and cork wall has gradually been replaced by houses with marble floor and fibro cement roof. 2 km from central of the commune, we came to the Ban Xeo 1 commune, as introduction of Mr. Tan Lao U, Vice President of the People’s Committees of the commune. This village is the most outstanding village in implementation 19 criteria of new rural construction, and is one of three villages successfully built family-run model to manage security at local level.

Talked with us, Mr. Tao Van Lau, head of the kin of Tao, he is 70 years old but still healthy and lucid. It has been 2 years since the kin of Tao founded, there are 52 members of 18 families participated in the family-run model. The kin of Tao is led by 1 Head and 2 Vice-Heads, they are elders, most reputable and having a voice in the kin. Before, the Tao was very poor, families lived on a few acres of farmland relying on year-round cultivation. Children in the Tao did not go to school for long, therefore they were not educated well. So, they turned to be bad people. “It is sad to see that”. Then, following-up on the mass media, as well as community meetings, Mr Lau known about the family-run model in some localities which operated effectively in the community. He gathered all the members in the Tao to discuss and agree to establish family-run model; while building regulations, conventions of facilities to educate their children and grandchildren in the families, living and working under the constitution and the law, avoiding social crime. Each family in the kin always performs well conventions or regulations of families, villages and localities, try not to held long days ceremony of wedding and funeral, no under-age marriages, uphold the spirit of vigilance, do not let the bad people taking advantage, participate in crime reporting and “All people protect National Security” Movement.

In order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of the family-run model, the kin of Tao proposed convention, if any family of the kin violates the convention, which family will be fine depending on the level of crime and it is worth from 100kg to 500kg of rice mild… These fine will be sold and contributed to fund of the kin. Vice versa, if any family of the kin has outstanding achievements in implementing the Movement “All people protect National Security” and economic activities, has children passing the entrance exams to colleges, universities and serving for government office at commune level or above will be rewarded and listed in golden page of the kin. Therefore, although 2 years established, this family-run model has brought practical results.

Previously, the family of Tao Van Trang is one of the poorest households in the village, therefore, he could not let his children to go to school. Since family-run model established in the kin of Tao, his family also received encouragement and supports from other people in the kin. Together with capital and experiences, Trang bought more seedlings for reforestation, developed economics, so far, his family escaped poverty. More than that, many other families such as Tao Van Son family, Tao Van Sam family … also gradually get out of poverty and get rich.

Mr. Loi Choi On, police officer in charge of Ban Xeo commune said: “Family-run model in the kin of Tao is of the first model applied in Ban Xeo commune. With this creative applied, the Tao kin not only promote strength, unity of the kin, but also positively contribute to local security management and the Movement “All people protect National Security” in highland Bat Xat.
