| Initially, Civic Actions concentrated
on helping the sick, injured, needy and homeless. As fears
abated, civic action team members made friends with the
villagers and responded to the peoples’ needs by helping with
construction or other projects. Later, civic action teams
consulted with village chiefs on education, self-defense and
commerce. Through these means, the Montagnard has been given an
incentive to produce more of |
the new life of which he has become aware.
In all these projects, the supplies are
provided by the GVN, the labor by the village, and the technical
advice by the 4th Division.
By working with the district and province chiefs, who work
closely with the people themselves, the Fighting Fourth is
creating a tight bond between a forgotten people and their
country. |
