My name is Ly Na, from Quang Ngai. I have a small body and moving around is not always easy, but my hands are strong and skillful. With them, I give new life to fabric scraps that others might throw away.

I live in Da Nang and was born with hearing loss. For many years, I often kept to myself, afraid of being different and unable to connect with others. A friend introduced me to CORMIS, and from the very first day, I felt nervous and lost. But the warmth and kindness here made me feel truly welcomed.

I have a special body because of the effects of Agent Orange: a curved spine, a small frame, and a height of only 1.3 meters. Despite many health problems, I try to live positively. I learned about CORMIS from a group of disabled friends and decided to join to gain new experiences. At first, I felt nervous, but everyone was so kind and friendly that I quickly felt at home.

I first learned about CORMIS through a friend of mine, and from the very beginning, I admired how people could turn scraps of fabric into useful products that also help protect the environment. I felt both surprised and inspired when I realized that something once considered waste could carry so much meaning.

My name is Nở, and I live in Da Nang. I have difficulty walking, but thanks to a friend with a disability who introduced me to Cormis, I found a place full of warmth and support. Here, I feel happy working alongside sisters who are kind, caring, and always ready to share with one another.
