Sorry, the above was a chart… I don’t know how to make it cross-over. I’m good with mirrors, though.

It’s for an International Committee of The Red Cross presentation I am doing on March 5. These are all therapists. Just check out the number of different countries.

HIT IT!

The mirror is the message!

From January to December 2013, 111 mine/ERW casualties were provisionally recorded by the Cambodian Mine/ERW Victim Information System (CMVIS). This figure represents a decrease of 40% compared with 2012. As in previous years, most of the accidents occurred in the five northern and western provinces (Battambang, Banteay Meanchey, Kampong Chhnang, Otdar Meanchey and Preah Vihear); three of these provinces were covered by the Battambang Regional Physical Rehabilitation Centre.
Out of these 111 mine/ERW casualties:
– 48 (43%) people were mine casualties and 63 (57%) people were ERW casualties.                
– 22 (20%) persons killed, 68 (61%) were injured and 21 (19%) persons were amputated.        
– 77 (70%) casualties were men, 17 (15%) casualties were boys, 11 (10%) casualties were women and 6 (5%) casualties were girls.
