Spread Positive Energy Contest 2024: Disabled people 'disabled but not useless'

My name is Tran Thi Huynh Nhu (43 years old, from Go Cong Tay district, Tien Giang province) currently working as a Korean interpreter in Ho Chi Minh City. Polio at the age of 3 made Nhu live with disabled legs for more than twenty years.

More than anyone else, I understand best the difficulties of people with disabilities: pain, sadness, and inferiority complex... Since childhood, Nhu has had a dream of being successful, being financially independent and independent in her activities, so since she was a student, Nhu has loved to participate in volunteer activities, especially for people with disabilities like herself.

Since February 2024, Nhu has opened a zero-dong stall at her house in Go Cong Tay district. Nhu's stall is small, those who have extra can come and give, those who need can come and receive. What Nhu wants is for people in special circumstances to talk to each other, share and feel that love still exists.

Nhu’s greatest passion at the moment is the Ho Chi Minh City Youth Vocational Guidance Club for the Disabled. Here, Nhu and her teachers and friends connect businesses and teachers to teach vocational skills to the disabled.

And Nhu herself is also learning many skills to serve her dream. First of all, Nhu hopes that you can relieve your mental stress when your body is still defective, and then so that you can have a job to earn a living.

Nhu has a big dream, a dream that one day Nhu and her disabled friends can stand on big stages and halls, and can tell everyone that disabled people "although disabled but not useless", can still work and contribute to society.
