A pavement congee stall run by a mother who sells congee with one hand

Mrs Nga's congee stall stands on Nguyen Khoai street, Vinh Hoi ward, District 4. Mrs Nga's story is a remarkable one: she grew up knowing she had only one hand, yet she was never helpless when it came to earning a living. Her husband and her children all help Mrs Nga sell the congee. The congee cart has become the family's livelihood, allowing Mrs Nga to put her youngest daughter through a nursing degree at the city's University of Medicine and Pharmacy.
