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 has left Nhu with disabled legs for more than twenty years.

More than anyone, I understand the difficulties of people with disabilities: pain, sadness, and inferiority complex... Since I was a child, I have had a dream of being successful, being financially independent and self-sufficient, so since I was a student, I have loved participating in volunteer activities, especially for people with disabilities like me.

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

Nhu’s greatest passion at the moment is the Ho Chi Minh City Youth Disabled Vocational Guidance Club. Here, Nhu and her teachers and friends have connected 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, then so that you can have a job to make 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 are "disabled but not useless", and can still work and contribute to society.
