Tak Van is a first grader from Cambodia. She has one younger brother, and she enjoys playing with her toys and watching television.
Five years ago, Tak Van had an accident and fell off her bed, hitting her right cheek bone on the floor. She developed swelling under her right eye, and a small soft mass has now developed.
When Tak Van learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for three hours seeking treatment.
