Good Things #6: Tales from a Hearing-Impaired Travelling Musician

One morning, at the age of 19, Jeshurun Vincent woke up and discovered he had become partially deaf. With no warning of this happening, the young man was devastated, and fell into a deep depression. Drawing on support from those around him, Jeshurun managed to pick himself up and decided to become a musician, and a travelling one at that! He has been recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records for having travelled to the most countries, having visited 102 nations in 69 months, performing music and sharing his story of hope and overcoming obstacles to all he met. He joins us to share his story.
