The famous limbless man Nick Vujicic, who drew huge attention when he first visited Vietnam last year, will return to the country this May, his visit's organizers said at a press conference in Hanoi on Wednesday.
He will be a special guest and will deliver speeches at the “Toa Sang Nghi Luc Viet” (Shining Vietnamese Will) galas at Phu Tho Stadium in Ho Chi Minh City on May 21 and at My Dinh Stadium in the capital city on May 24.
The “Toa Sang Nghi Luc Viet” program was launched in November last year by the Vietnam Youth Federation, Vietnamese sheet metal producer Hoa Sen Group, and two local media outlets to honor people who have tremendous spirit to overcome obstacles in their life.
The two gala nights will be broadcast live on national TV channels VTV6 and VTV1, respectively.
On his first visit to Vietnam last May, Vujicic inspired millions of Vietnamese nationwide with his workshops and speeches on ways to transcend one’s own limits to reach success on their career path.
Famed Vietnamese photographer Nguyen A released a photo book titled “Nick and His Days in Vietnam” in honor of the inspirational Australian speaker following this trip.
The 200-page colored book features some hundred photos which depict Nick Vujicic's moments during his five-day visit to the Southeast Asian nation.
Nick Vujicic was born in 1982 in Melbourne, Australia with tetra-amelia syndrome, a rare disorder characterized by the absence of all four limbs.
The strong-willed man has come to more than 40 countries to deliver over 2,000 motivational speeches about hope and finding meaning in life with a disability.
He is now the CEO of non-profit organization Life Without Limits he founded at the age of 17 and director of the Attitude is Attitude company.
The man authors inspirational books “Without Limits: Inspiration for a Ridiculously Good Life,” “Unstoppable – The Incredible Power of Faith in Action,” and “Limitless: Devotions for a Ridiculously Good Life.”
All of the books have been translated into Vietnamese.
He married his fiancée, Kanae Miyahara in 2012 and became father of a son last year.
