YouTube: Lost Arms to Grenade in Vietnam, Now He Swims and Rides his Bicycle

In this blog I want to share with you my first strong impression on how a
disabled person can adapt to do almost anything.

Beneficiary Profile:

Full Name: Hoang Lang
Born: 1961
Incident date: 1976
Type of device: M79 grenade
Address: Mai Dan village, Hai Lam commune, Hai Lang district, Quang Tri
province.

Mr. Lang was working with his parents in a potato field in 1976 when
he saw a bright yellow device (M79 grenade). He picked it up and the
device detonated in his hand. He lost two arms just below elbow.

He managed to learn doing a lot of things with what remain. He is one of
the Medal winners of PWD sports. He attends Paragames as a swimmer.

Attached are some related photos of Mr Lang with Paragames activities.
