(HBO) – She unfortunately lost her legs by the destiny fate. But with her effort, she has struggled to show that people with disabilities can do things as normal people. At present, she is the owner of a garment factory and creates jobs for many women in the village. The person we want to mention is Ms. Bui Thi Mien (born in 1978), a tailor who lives in Chanh village, Vinh Dong commune (Kim Boi).

In 2001, through the radio of the family that
Ms. Mien often heard, she had her own orientation to choose her work. At the
beginning of the study, she met a lot of difficulties, due to losing her legs,
she had to walk by her knee pads, pressing the pedal by thigh, which took
her half of a month to master. Sometime,
she was too passionate to study, the thighs were reddish with blood without
knowing. She just thought she would do it, so that she was no longer a burden
for her family. With the help and guidance of staff of the Vocational Training
Center, after 6 months, she was out of work and paid for the product. Holding
the first money on her hand made her emotional.
After 2 years working in the garment industry
in the Center, she would like to move out and try to work for the company and
factory. In these places, Ms. Mien has improved her experience and skills in
sewing, helping to improve her skills. With diligence, fun and always in
harmony with people, she is loved by everyone.
With 8 years of learning and working, she has
saved some capital and desire to return home to open a small workshop at home
to help the same people rise up. In early March, 2018, with the permission of
the local government for her to rent a cultural house of Chanh village with the
price of 100,000 VND per month, she invested 7 sewing machines, 2 overcasting
machines with the cost of about 30 million VND. Despite its new operation, her
garment factory has many orders, the main item is the uniform clothes. At
present, her workshop has 8 tailors with a fixed rate basing on products at 2.5
- 3.5 million VND/ person / month. In addition, Ms. Mien also provides free
vocational training for women in need. So far, she has taught for over 10
people.
In late March, 29 labourers from Da Bac district were sent to work as seasonal farm workers in Buyeo county, Chungcheongnam province, the Republic of Korea (RoK). Upon arrival, they quickly settled into their jobs, enjoying good working conditions and benefits, with wages aligned with the terms of their signed contracts. The programme is now being expanded, with relevant departments and sectors actively seeking additional seasonal employment opportunities in various localities across the RoK.
