Thuan – Amputee becoming Handicraft teacher and Athlete

Hi,

Today I am going to share story of young girl Thuan, whose Life became all dark after getting amputee. Her hard work and strong will power makes Thuan an Athlete and Handicraft teacher. She won so many medals in Asian Para games and also helping other disabled persons.

Let me tell you more about her

Thuan lost her leg in a traffic accident in 1998 when she was 12 years old. Life became all dark for the young girl. Thuan got her artificial limb in 2003 at the Ho Chi Minh Rehabilitation Centre. That first fitting put her into the world of the disabled. She got interested in support activities related to disabilities. This led her to work at the Vocational Training Centre for Disabled People as a teacher in embroidery and bead craft. She could thus help other disabled persons. In December 2006, this centre introduced her for fitting under the coverage by the ICRC Special Fund for the Disabled project: it was her first SFD-subsidised prosthesis.

The young amputee started practicing the javelin throw in 2005, the discus and shotput throw as well. Since then she has been restlessly training five days weekly at the Thong Nhat Stadium, Ho Chi Minh City, in evening time after her working day at the Vocational Training Centre. Due to sport exercise, her prostheses have been often overused. She won several bronze and gold medals in the 2006 ASEAN Para Games in Kuala Lumpur, 2008 in Nakhon Ratchasima and 2009 in Malaysia.

My friends, Thuan is still involved in social activities and providing help to trainees and disabled persons. Along this Thuan is also looking forward to raise her sport achievements higher. Her efforts proved that it doesn’t matter if we are amputees and our life is not over after getting amputated; from here we can make a new start and can achieve what we want.
