Photo coutersy of Dương Hữu Phúc Viet Nam News By Bùi Quỳnh Hoa Dương Hữu Phúc, a third-year student at the Hà Nội University of Business and Technology’s Department of Architecture, carefully draws his homework on a computer in a slum along Nguyễn Khoái Street in Hà Nội’s Hai Bà Trưng District. He is able to use the remains of his amputated arms to move the mouse and type with dexterity. “It’s much easier for me now we are allowed to do the technical drawings on a computer rather than by hand.
