    22 year old girl always smiled and hold tightly arms of people who were sitting with her during the event. by: namlongnguyen Views[1156] Almost time in the event, a little boy who has a big scar on his head always in this position. He is also cerebral-palsied and unable to control his actions. I waited for nearly 1 hour to take this picture of him and a small foot of a man who was walking around him. by: namlongnguyen Views[856] He always tried to eat his hand so that it turn pale, and he cried when they tried to pull it out of his mouth. He can't speak, move around, even he can't sit, thus they made this special chair which is also his toilet. by: namlongnguyen Views[677] They are provided 600.000 vnđ (~30 usd) every month for food. All of them are cerebral-palsied and they can't control their actions, they just stayed there, cried, slept, even tried to eat their hands for almost time when I was there. by: namlongnguyen Views[1020] Giang has only 3 fingers on each hand but she can play organ and sing beautifully. In this picture, she is playing organ and singing a song name
