Let's work together for empowerment, inclusion and resilience to create a society where no one is left behind. Through TRE, education, upcycling, and disaster risk reduction

 Thanks Giving 

 Since doing the TRE exercises, I no longer feel sad and lonely as before. I find TRE very suitable for people with disabilities, who always feel lonely and inferior. TRE exercises help us to overcome that feeling and want to participate more in our community activities. I look forward to the TRE exercises that will be available to more people with disabilities elsewhere. I would like to become a TRE instructor for other people with disabilities. Please help me get the TRE® certificate

 I think my legs are paralyzed. Therefore, when doing TRE, I try to focus on my shoulders and arms. It is suprizing to me that my legs now shake after I try doing normal exercises with people who have normal legs. I feel so much happy. In my mind, it just comes up with a hope that who know if I try more with TRE, my legs can activate again and I can walk like other people?

 I feel deep relaxation after practising TRE® exercises. Before I think such kind of shaking is not a normal state. Therefore, I try to stop my shaking. Now I know the benefits and know to practise for the shaking

 CORMIS is a serious institution that does wonderful work often with very little resources. I have the pleasure to collaborate with this wonderful group of human beings and I am a witness of the dedication and professionalism with which they work.

 "Thank you to the women at Cormis's Up-cycling Project for Livelihoods and Environmental Protection, who always put so much care and details to sewing our shoe bags. Every time I receive the final products, I'm both excited and curious because all the fabrics are selected from their up-cycling project, so each bag has its own unique point, no two bags look the same. Swing Love is very happy to contribute small tiny part to the upcycling project to increase the livelihoods of women with disabilities in Da Nang. Cormis also has a shop selling pretty recylced products on their Facebook page. Check them out! Oh, I gotta mention the way they mix 'n match old fabrics and bring them a new life, wonderful!

 We have never had such kinds of practical skill sharing like this. The way of making biodegradable kitchen soap and enzyme liquid from the fruit waste is simple, easy to do. The materials to make the soap and liquid are available in our center so we can start making them after this training. Using the soap and liquid like this in the center we feel safe as they do not cause harm on us and the children. It is also good for the environment. Thank you for sharing this useful knowledge and skills for our center.

 Acknowlegement! We are so happy to receive the support from CORMIS who has come over 300 km to help us recover from the previous storm. Their support include 1 tivi, 15 sets of tables and chairs, 11 fans, clothes and medicine for pupils. These are really useful gifts for our teachers and pupils as they will help us to better teach for the children with these equipments. Living in this remote area, with the limited budget we have, we cannot buy those equipment to support the teaching for children. Thank you so much for the kind support from CORMIS. Wish all the members of CORMIS have good health so that you can help more disadvantaged people.

 The amazing time I spent with Cormis will be one of the highlights of my time spent in Vietnam. To see first hand the amazing work Cormis is doing for the Vietnamese Community is truly heartwarming. The team there is passionate, hard working and above all inspiring. Dung and the amazing women are working so incredibly hard to create opportunities and support the like minded people across Vietnam. Having the amazing opportunity to help and support the team at Cormis was truly one of the most rewarding experiences living in Vietnam. Meeting so many talented and hard working women that are not only creating amazing products but are building a supportive community that uplift each other even when times are dark. Thank you to the team at Cormis for all the hard work you do for the Vietnamese community. Michael Lack"

 Wearing the upcycled hat in the hospital makes me feel warmer in my soul.

 What I like most from CORMIS is that they support me the best for my spirit. So I have a tendency to think in a more positive way. I live more simply. No worry. No fear. I am fully aware of the day I live. I will think of tomorrow when it comes. (Đinh Thuỳ Dung – Tư Nghĩa district, Quảng Ngãi province).

 The “Self and Collective Care” program initiated by CORMIS has helped me to stay in a comfortable mood. It helps me to learn more and therefore I no longer feel sad, inferiority with the fact that I am a woman with disability. Before, I often thought of negative things. My health condition now has also improved. I can sleep more easily and sleep very well. The physical pains on my body have been reduced, especially on my legs, hands and shoulder. My blood pressure is more stable. I don’t worry too much on COVID pandemic and think of it in a negative way. (Tran Hoa – Aluoi Town, Thua Thien Hue province)

 The CORMIS’s self and collective care program has helped us to change our priorities in our life. Not like before, now we consider health is an important priority. In this time of COVID pandemic, we have come together to practice breathing, yoga and tension release exercises. These activities have help our lungs to be stronger. Our mental status is stable. We are calm to response to the pandemic. What I like most in this program is the way they design the activities accessible for all of us. This has enabled us, people with disabilities to participate easily to protect our health. This program has also connected us together! (Phan Nga – Quang Ngai city).

 Joining the mental health program facilitated by CORMIS in this time of COVID pandemic has helped me to have positive energies, good mood. What I like most when joining the activities is that I have been able to connect with friends, uncles, aunts who have the same situation like me from different provinces of Vietnam. Their joy of living and smiles are the great medicine for me in this time. The devoted way of facilitating from Ms Dung and the yoga providers at each session per week attracted me to participate and these activities are now like the food which must have on my menu. The mindfulness meditation guided by the Nuns and Monks in being aware of the breath has enabled me to relax my body and can easily sleep.

 My experience at Cormis is unforgetable. The first time i got involve with Dung and the ladies at Cormis was when my friend tagged me in a post about making masks for the hospital. I kindly offered my help. And from that moment i started my time Cormis. Actually they helped me by giving me useful things to do during a tough time in Da Nang. The ladies at Cormis treated me very well. And instantly i felt i was part of the group. They would feed me everytime i was there. And never accepted when i said no. Haha. Sometimes i would find a bag full of fruits on my motorbike. And nobody knew where it came from. I felt so appriciated for hat i have done for Cormis. There are so many ladies who are in need of work. Dung at Cormis provides them with work so they can have a normal life just like everyone else. And they deserve it. Despite having a disabillity, the ladies work so hard and never complain. Or maybe i just don’t understand when they complain haha. There were times when i went to Cormis when i was a bit moody. The ladies at Cormis would turn my mood around in a second by talking to me. Making jokes with me. They would just lift my spirit with their endless energy. I want to thank Cormis for letting me hang around and let me spend time with you ladies. I feel very lucky and i learn a lot during my time at Cormis. So in conclusion. My time at Cormis was great. Made new friends. Learned new things. Ate lots of vegetarian food. And laugh a lot with a group of beautiful and talented people. Cam on rat nhieu! Kong

 After more than one year working with CORMIS I understand that it is the place where we all share, learn from each other for our development. For instance, through the upcycling work from the left over fabric which people throw away, they collect and upcycle them into useful things like wallets, pillow cover, hair tie, apron, etc. Besides, the used fishing nets have also been collected to upcycle them into cleaning items. This is really amazing! CORMIS helps the disadvantaged women use their existing strength, such us, their sewing skills to creat products that can be sold for increasing their income. They are also given environment where they can sit together to share their sadness and happiness in their life. This environment creates equality and happiness for the disadvantage people who have been given opportunities to learn and build their capacity. Besides, they are also be able to participate in other useful activities such as mindfulness, English, dancing which bring them lots of fun. There are many other community groups have given hands to collaborate and support CORMIS through their activities, for instance, community market from Paws for Compassion, Dork Dancing for their Mental health program. We all understand that we are equal. We should be treated equal. CORMIS has brought to our community a value that is the true connection among our humanity. Dung Mai you have done good job.
