Episode 36: Nothing is impossible

This week we travel to rural Mon State, where we meet Ko Kan Htoo Aung, who was born without the use of his legs.

Despite the challenges, this hasn’t stopped him from devoting his life to others, through his work as a provider of medical care in his local community.

As well as speaking with Kan Htoo Aung about his positive attitude to life, we also meet members of his family, as well as local members of the community who have benefitted from Kan Htoo Aung’s services.
