Phung Ba Hung was recently named amongst the recipients of the Fulbright Master’s Program Scholarship so that he can continue to spread his love for reading in Vietnam. Hung’s passion for reading began when he was a child. It was not until after he graduated from the University of Social Sciences and Humanities under the Vietnam National University-Hanoi with a degree in journalism and media studies that he started sharing his passion with others through the launch of Duong Lieu. Duong Lieu is a private library he opened in his living room designed to create a safe space for neighborhood children to lose themselves in the magic of literature. When Hung, 33, launched Duong Lieu in 2013, the few private libraries that existed in his Hanoian neighborhood were primarily run by retired teachers, veterans, and the elderly. While these libraries were appreciated by many, they were not particularly approachable and child-friendly. “My knowledge of journalism and media has really … [Read more...] about This young man is the backbone of Vietnam’s community library network

In late February, Dong Nai People’s Committee revealed that it required relocation of 2,100 breeding farms and to shut down approximately 900 breeding facilities before January 2025. The reason for the drastic move is to remove livestock facilities from residential areas, which are causing untold amounts of environmental pollution. The province’s decision immediately worried breeding households and livestock companies, with representatives stating that the roadmap is too short, financial information or assistance is scarce, and … [Read more...] about Livestock switch serves up dispute
