#Star50: Star Golden Hearts Award recipient overcomes adversity to keep helping others

Dr Billy Tang is a great example of not letting adversity define him nor his abilities. After a car accident in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, left him paralysed from the waist down six years ago, he threw his focus into urban farming, developing a model to help poor and marginalised communities get access to fresh, nutritious food sustainably. The 55-year-old agriculturist and researcher set up a social enterprise called PWD Smart FarmAbility and, last year, introduced the Hope Box Project, which offers organic vegetable terrariums for adoption or sale in aid of various beneficiaries. The terrariums, which can self-regenerate for at least three months and up to a year without fertilisers, act as a form of fresh food bank conveniently located where the recipients live.
