Abstract

The VietNam Assistance for the Handicapped (VNAH), a U.S.-based nongovernmental organization founded by Ca Van Tran, provides prosthetic devices and wheelchairs for victims of explosive remnants of war in rural communities in Vietnam. Ken Rutherford and Cameron Macauley of the Center for International Stabilization and Recovery participated in a mass prostheses fitting led by VNAH in Tam Ky, Vietnam. In the article, Rutherford describes the impact this event has on nearly 200 men and women.
