Sharing at the awarding ceremony, Ms. Vo Thi Tuyet in Hung Hoa, Vinh City was very touched when receiving this meaningful gift. Her foot was paralyzed 2 years ago, all her activities depended on others so she felt very inconvenient. "With this wheelchair, I can be more independent in life" - Ms. Tuyet confided.
