*1. Artist captures butterflies' fallen wings*
Vu Thi Nguyet Anh's disability hasn't stopped her from pursuing her art.
She's working on perfecting her collection of preserved butterflies, spread
out in frames against colourful backgrounds. Kim Anh reports.
A garden full of butterflies and a room full of butterfly pictures. This
should sum up disabled artisan Vu Thi Nguyet Anh's passion in life.
A room on Tran Phu Road, Bao Loc City, the Central Highland province of Lam
Dong, houses Anh's lively, diversified, and colourful collection of
butterfly pictures. Anh was awarded the title of artisan in 2013. Thousands
of her pictures are displayed or sold in Viet Nam and foreign countries,
including the US and Japan.
Patient with a dream
When Anh was small, she would watch her friends move around freely and
easily. With her legs paralysed, Anh would sit for hours and watch
butterflies flying around cluster of flowers. Soon, she saw herself
patiently waiting to catch them so that she could turn them into part of
her landscape paintings. Whoever visited her house would be so impressed
with her pictures that they would entreat her to sell one to them. However,
at that time Anh's pressed butterflies faded and broke easily.
"Our country has hundreds of kinds of beautiful butterflies. Each butterfly
is a masterpiece of the nature. Keeping the natural colour of butterflies
and putting them in frames, they can be an attractive picture," Anh said.

*2. Australia supports disability-inclusive development in Viet Nam*
Australian's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Julie Bishop MP, on Monday
released Development for All 2015-2020: Strategy for strengthening
disability-inclusive development in Australia's aid program.
According to a press release issued by the Australian Embassy in Ha Noi,
the paper said that people with disabilities make up about 15 per cent of
the global population and have poorer health outcomes, lower educational
achievements, lower economic participation, as well as higher poverty rates
than people without disabilities.
"Disability-inclusive development is good development practice and
contributes to poverty reduction, economic growth, and better development
outcomes for all," said Hugh Borrowman, the Australian Ambassador to Viet
Nam.
Australia supports people with disabilities in Viet Nam through existing
and future aid projects. To improve the quality of their lives, Australia
will consult people with disabilities, monitor their participation, and
engage with disability-specific support services and other relevant
organisations.
