Despite her disability, Runglawan Carick has raised three of her older sister’s children and earned enough money to send them to college – all by using her feet.
Runglawan makes THB100-200 a day from minor labor jobs such as reaping marigold flowers, removing overgrown grasses and selling corn at a local market.
So dexterous is Runglawan with her feet that she has even traveled to Bangkok to compete in a painting talent show, which her team won. Her favorite subject to paint is blooming flowers.
