Suture


This was a very productive week! Each year I try to fill my second suitcase with some type of donation that is hard to find in Cambodia. Some trips it's as simple as first aid kits, and one time I had surgical instrumentation. This year I found a medical supply organization called Global Links (http://www.globallinks.org/) that specializes in surplus suture donation. The Angkor Hospital for Children (http://www.angkorhospital.org/) listed suture as one of their needs, so I sent a few emails. In no time, I secured a large quantity of items that will help hundreds of children. It's incredible to me how easy it can be to make a significant difference in this world.
