Amputees Make Their Own Limbs at Thai Refugee Camp
Cambodians in Khao-I-Dang refugee camp adapt to war injuries by crafting and fitting their own artificial limbs as a unique self-help work program. The steady border situation and ongoing three-year Cambodian guerrilla war shape the context, with land mines affecting both combatants and civilians near the camp. Sukhom, an 11-year-old, is among those involved.
