The 'silent arms' of the disabled

From September 9 to 14, at the Tan Son Nhat Ward Cultural and Sports Service Center, Ho Chi Minh City, the 2025 National Championships in swimming, chess, archery, judo, and boccia for the disabled took place, gathering sports delegations from provinces and cities across the country.

The tournament is not only a place for competition but also lights up the desire to live and the will to overcome difficulties of disabled athletes, contributing to the inclusive, humane and sustainable development sports movement of Vietnam.

Behind the achievements and emotional moments of competition is the silent yet equally important presence of the volunteer team. They not only help the athletes move and prepare equipment but also provide emotional support, helping the athletes feel more confident when entering the competition.

Caring and sharing difficulties with athletes

Behind every performance of disabled athletes is the wholehearted support of volunteers.

Waiting for you after each race

In particular, at Tan Son Nhat Ward swimming pool, the images of volunteers caringly supporting swimming athletes created beautiful moments, demonstrating the spirit of sharing and kindness. They themselves contributed to helping disabled athletes complete their competition excellently, while spreading the message of empathy and integration in the community.

Each volunteer is like a silent arm of a disabled athlete.

Together we bring victory back

The tournament ended, but the echoes of sportsmanship, vitality and volunteerism still linger - as a testament to the power of connection and belief in life.
