Nguyen Van Tham from Quang Trach District’s Quang Xuong Commune is the only child of Ta Thi Hong, a 56-year-old single mother.
When Hong was pregnant, doctors advised her to have an abortion due to problems with the foetus. However, she was determined to keep the child.
Hong and her son Nguyen Van Tham
Right after being born, Tham was diagnosed with hydrocephalus and his legs were also paralysed.
Hong has had to carry her son on her back to school. She always hoped that one day her son could walk.
Despite his health problems, Tham achieved good study results. This year, he has been admitted as an information and technology student at Quang Binh University.
The university has provided free transport to take Tham home. He has also been given a separate dormitory room along with free tuition.
Tham said that initially both his mother and he were very happy when he made it to university, but they both worried about how they could afford the tuition fees. Luckily, they received the university’s support.
Dr Vo Khac Son, the deputy rector of Quang Binh University, said in the long run, Tham needs more support from the community. Son hoped that the public could help more.
