“Chen Vandet was born with one leg. Our community workers found him in 1999 and he came to Kompong Chhnang rehabilitation centre. He has been provided for an artificial limb, left leg, below knee. We bring him to rehabilitation centre every six months for a new limb, as he grows too big for his old limb. He goes to school. Cambodia Trust provided him the books and uniform for school because his family is very poor.
“Because of his disability, he could not be with the other children like football, jumping, running, especially going to school. But, after we help him, he can go to school, play with the other boys and girls. He participates with any other, without looking he has a disability. He used to walk with two crutches, but now he can walk to school with free hand to hold the books, play with his friends. He likes football.”

oh sure, I could say I'm thankful for my kids, my husband, our home. But you know what I'm really thankful for this year? My shiny, shiny Dansko shoes. that's right. After a year of hurting, 3 months of physical therapy, and these lovely new shoes, my feet no longer hurt! So yeah, I'm thankful that when I put these shoes on they immediately make my feet feel good.

“This is a need and something I could have used from the very beginning.” That was the reaction from a person that does not have a hand when he saw a prototype of what has come to be known as the Hartford Hand. Five graduate students from the University’s Prosthetics and Orthotics (P&O) program have been so inspired by that statement that they’ve spent non-class hours working on the project that began in 2013 to make the world’s first prosthetic hand that can be fully customized to patients’ needs.

As a baby and toddler I took some time to learn to walk, as a result of my dwarfism and many surgical procedures to straighten out my hips and feet….
When eventually I did get the hang of it (probably for the third time) one of the first pairs of 'proper' orthopaedic boots I had were these wonderful red affairs….
Leather uppers and leather soles, you can even see the original nails in the heels….amazing craftsmanship now 40 years old….wonderful aren't they?

Care Villa, Thailand.
Clear Path International
The Gift of Hands for the Care Villa Men
Posted by: Melody Mociulski
Mae Sot, Thailand - Since we began supporting the Care Villa in 2002, we at Clear Path have dreamed of providing prosthetic hands for the amputees we serve there. Many of them have lost one or both arms in a landmine explosion and are wholly dependent on others for their care. Almost every time we visit our Karen friends at the giant sprawling Mae La refugee camp on the Thai-Burma border, we are asked for a device that will allow the men to use their upper limbs.
Now, two young American volunteers, Missy Malkush and Rachel Clagett, have made the dream come true. They arrived at the Care Villa this month with the gift of hands.
Care Villa, located about an hour from the Thai border town of Mae Sot, is a 24-hour residential care facility for 18 physically-handicapped, dependent Burmese landmine survivors who have lost their eyesight, hands, legs, hearing, or some combination. Most all suffer post-traumatic stress syndrome and depression. They are marginalized by their community and are considered a burden to their families who already live in impoverished conditions.
Clear Path International is the primary source of support for these 18 men, aged 15-65, providing shelter and daily caretaking. To help the men deal with the anguish of their situation, music provides an outlet for their voices to be heard. A song written by one of the men describes their spirit to heal and find fulfillment in their lives.
I lost my eyes, so I can't look at you.
I lost my arms, so I can't hold you.
I lost my legs, so I can't come with you.
My heart is broken, but I've still got my voice.
So I'll sing.
Rachel, pursuing a Doctorate in Physical Therapy, and Missy, with a Master’s in Prosthetics and Orthotics, have been friends since their freshman year at Wake Forest University. They found themselves at a complacent point of their lives, and on a whim and unbeknownst to each other, each googled landmine victims and discovered Clear Path. A few months later they began their journey to Mae Sot to volunteer with Clear Path at the Care Villa and the Mae Tao Clinic to help landmine victims.
Hearing about the needs of the men at the Villa, Missy reached out to a colleague at LN-4 Hand, a non-profit in California which has designed prosthetic hands for developing countries. The hands are simple, innovative and easily fitted. With a protective sock worn underneath, the universal size prosthetic is wrapped around the limb and secured tightly over the bones of the elbow joint with a Velcro cuff. A combination of stationary and adjustable prongs provides multiple gripping patterns to fit the amputee’s needs. LN-4 Hand generously donated 10 hands which Missy and Rachel personally carried with them to Mae Sot.
Training is essential for using a prosthesis. If one does not know how it can be helpful, it is just as good on the shelf. The Care Villa men have lived for more than 10 years without one or both hands. They have loving people to help them with their activities of daily living. They may not want to wear a device. However, waking up and brushing one’s own teeth, or being able to bring a fork to one’s own mouth provides a sense of independence. Missy and Rachel hope that “they are not only providing these men with a limb”, but that they are showing the men that “they can do even more than they thought possible”.

Missy and Rachel brought cucumbers and cake for the first training session. The cucumbers were fantastic because once jabbed, they did not go anywhere until they were in the mouth. Remembering that most of the men are blind, the last thing they wanted was to discourage them by continually bringing an empty spoon to their mouths. The cake was for the tongue’s delight. Cucumbers and cake – a suitable midday meal for a new hand or a pair of new hands.
Tupo lost his sight in only one eye. As he could see how to use the new prosthetic, he learned quickly and easily. The first thing Tupo wanted to do was to hold a pen in his right hand and write, something he had not been able to do for far too many years. Although the Burmese script is beautiful, it is difficult to write with its many circles and curves. With his new prosthetic hand, he happily wrote all over his left hand and in a notebook – an exciting moment.

In a place where time moves slowly and dreams seem out of reach, the gift of hands from Missy and Rachel and LN-4 Hand has brought new hope and excitement to the 18 Burmese residents of the Care Villa. Missy and Rachel: a heartfelt thanks from all of us at Clear Path!
