A really warmthanks to Heng at the TRAUMA CARE FOUNDATION. This is him with one of his ‘Farmer Legs’ that his amputees manufacture for other amps. It’s tougher than the Red Cross legs, breaks less and gets stuck in the mud less. Made of wood and PVC water pipe. He welcomed me to his workshop for 4 days of Mirror Therapy in the very remote town of On-Noung in Samlot District.

I learned an awful lot and saw an enormous amount of friendship and community spirit among the amps there in one of the hardest hit areas on the planet. Thanks Heng! If I’m a good boy he’s gonna take me up to Sam Po Lum too; another trouble-spot.
