Thu - Vietnam Case Study (Primary 3-6)

This case study with activities shares Thu's story.
Thu lives with his wife in Vietnam. When Thu was 12 years old, he lost his leg when he stepped on a land mine. With the support of Caritas Australia’s partner in Vietnam, Thu was able to open a barber shop to earn an income. The program also supports Thu and others living with a disability to come together to socialise, support and learn from each other.
