Three amazing ‘Givers’ to Cambodia. Left to right, Dr Hang Vra (Cambodia), Mr Mike Webber (NZ), and ‘M’ (USA)
Dr Vra has given most of his adult life to helping poor Cambodians with their eye problems. Through hard work he has not become one of Cambodias leading eye specialists. In 2002 his clinic was looted and vandalized by a crooked expatriate, leaving it as a bare shell Despite this he kept on coming to comfort the throngs of expectant patients who had been deprived of treatment by the looting. He is a Cambodian hero.
