[Vnbiz] Welcome brother Tran Ba Thien into VNBIZ

[Le Ha, Van (HANOI/HHA)]

Dear brother Thien and all,  

Welcome to VNbiz anh Ba Thien! 

I was working with brother Thien in the past 2 years and just admired
his smartness, positive thinking, caring and his sense of humor. I think
brother Thien might like also what brother Pham Thanh Nhon is doing
right now - the social work activities to help the Vietnamese with
disabilities. Thanks anh Hoanh for raising the question of whether or
not we use the word "handicapped" - I think brother Thien might have a
very interesting answer for that question.

Have a good day everyone, 

Van

Dear CACC,

 

Please join to welcome brother Tra^`n Ba' Thie^.n into our VNBIZ family.

 

Brother Thien <tranbathien at gmail.com> is in the last year of the chuong
trinh tai chuc sociology at University of Social Science and Humanities
of HCMC.  He is also a member of the Southeast Asia Study Association,
and works the Center for Community Development, 31 Ngo Gia Tu, HCMC as
an expert on disabilities.  He also manages the largest forums on
disabilities in Vietnam, that is the SMCC and NKTVN forums. 

 

That is great, anh Thien.  Welcome in.  Looks like your home is close to
the home where I grew up, in Cu Xa Kien Thiet, in front of Nha Tho Ba
Chuong.  Now my brother lives there.  Anyway, it is good to know that
you are working with the disabled, along with sister Thuy Lien.  Please
keep us informed and educated about the disabled. 

 

You can start telling me what is the right term to use: is that
"disabled" or "handicapped" or what?  I know in Vietnam we say Nguoi
khuyet tat.  In the US, for a while there was some argument about the
right term to use.  I am not sure what the outcome of that argument is.
If you know the answer, please let us know.  If you don't, I will do an
Internet search when I have some free time. 

 

In any event, welcome in.  And please feel free to share your heart and
mind with us.

 

Great day, brother Thien and all.

 

Hoanh
