Dear Mr. Sommerville (or Rudy Chennault):
I am interested in why you are soliciting for used equipment and funding
for your project in Cambodia. I currently work in Cambodia and assure you
that the needs of Cambodians for Orthopedic equipment has gone far beyond
refurbishment of used parts. Indeed, after much development and
coordination of the many Non Government Organizations involved in this
work, it was decided that a standard of care was needed in this country and
the ICRC technology was adopted as that standard. This went into effect in
1994 and has continued successfully since. The Cambodian School of
Prosthetics and Orthotics in Phnom Penh, produces 12 students a year from
the three year curriculum that has met ISPO criteria, and this project is
gauged to provide the country with P&O technologists in an ongoing fashion
to satisfy future needs.
