2016 Mid-Year Update

By A.J. Warco | Director of Programs

Samnang 1
Samnang 1

17 year-old Samnang has been a patient of ALTSO’s since 2013, when he sought treatment for the congenital deformity of his right leg.

Samnang is the youngest of two brothers and one sister. His mother owns a small food stall and his father works as a motorbike tax driver. The cost of the prosthetic device, which he now proudly wears, would have been unattainable to his family without your support. 

Samnang is very tech-savvy and athletic. In his spare time, he can be found repairing electronics and playing soccer. With his interests in technology, he plans on studying Information Technology in Phnom Penh, and hopes to relocate to either the U.S. or Russia following his studies. 

He is currently in the 12th grade and getting ready to graduate, with big thanks to your involvement for giving him the physical capabilities needed to get to school and pursue his dreams!
