Many kind hearts help disabled boy Hoang Van Danh go to university
As reported by Nghe An newspaper, Hoang Van Danh suffered from a scoliosis after an accident when he was young. After finishing 12th grade, he weighed only 23kg, was 1.25m tall, and his family was very poor. With determination and will, Danh overcame all difficulties, studied well, and passed the entrance exam to the Hanoi Academy of Finance with high scores. When he received the notice from the Academy of Finance, Danh almost had to give up his dream of going to university because his family did not have the money to send him to Hanoi to enroll.
