Ms. Tran Thi Thuy Nga grew up in a farming family in Nghia Dong commune, Tan Ky district, Nghe An province . Her life was normal like any other child's until she was 13 years old when a serious illness struck. The multiple joint disease caused her limbs to become deformed, rendering her unable to move or grasp normally. Despite her family's best efforts, spending all their money at the best hospitals, they ultimately had to bring her home in despair…
Ms. Nga's library (wearing a white shirt, in the middle) is open every Sunday.
With her sensitivity, she knew she had become a source of pain and a burden for her mother: "My eyes were swollen from crying. The tears seemed to just fall from my eyelids... I just wanted to disappear as if I had never existed in this world, or to sleep forever…".
Young people of all ages in the area come to borrow books.
Then, a fortunate encounter with books saved her life. Sympathizing with her younger sister's struggle with illness, Nga's older sister worked and saved money to buy meaningful and insightful books for Nga to read, easing her burdens. Books became her confidants, leading her to a new horizon. Understanding the significance of reading, she saved money from helping her mother sell groceries to build a free library, spreading the love of reading to everyone.
People come to Ms. Nga's library to borrow books.
The elderly people really like and frequently visit Ms. Nga's library.
Ms. Nga was invited to give talks on traditions at schools in the area.
Today, if we live beautifully and sow good seeds, the seeds of kindness will surely sprout and grow. Ms. Nga is a testament to the spread of this precious "fragrance" in life. We hope she will always maintain good health to continue with the Thuy Nga free library and her own mission: sowing seeds of kindness.
