Bunrong is a 13-year-old boy from Cambodia. He is in Grade 6 and is the only child in his family. His father works as a rice farmer, and his mother runs a small grocery business to support the household. He enjoys studying English, playing football with his friends, and dreams of becoming a police officer in the future. About one year ago, Bunrong developed a mass over his right wrist after sustaining an injury while playing volleyball. At that time, he received treatment with an X-ray examination and wrist immobilization in a cast for 21 days. Although the initial treatment was completed, he continued to experience pain in his wrist. Over time, the mass gradually increased in size, causing ongoing discomfort and making it difficult for him to write his lessons and complete schoolwork comfortably. After being referred to our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), he traveled three hours with his family to seek specialized care. Doctors diagnosed him with a right wrist tumor and scheduled an en bloc resection procedure to remove the tumor on May 20th. This surgery is expected to relieve pain, restore wrist function, and allow him to return to school and daily activities without discomfort. Now, Bunrong needs help to raise $841 to fund this procedure. Bunrong's grandmother said, “I have been worried watching him live with pain and discomfort in his wrist. I pray this surgery will remove the problem, relieve his pain, and help him use his hand normally again so he can study, play volleyball, and enjoy life without difficulty.”

Sethika is an eight-year-old student from Kandal Province, Cambodia, where she lives with her parents, who work as grocery sellers. She is one of a set of triplet sisters and has an older brother. She enjoys reading and writing Khmer and hopes to become a doctor when she grows up. Sethika was born with a facial condition affecting her jaw. In November 2025, she underwent open reduction and internal fixation of the right mandible — a procedure in which screws and a plate were inserted to support correction of the deformity. The hardware now needs to be removed as part of her staged treatment plan, after which surgeons intend to perform mandibular distraction to further improve jaw development and facial symmetry. Fortunately, surgeons at Watsi's medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On June 16th, Sethika will undergo hardware removal, which will cost $378. Once completed, this procedure will allow her staged treatment to continue and support her long-term jaw function and appearance. Sethika's mother said, “As a mother, I am very grateful that my daughter has received this treatment. I hope she will continue to recover well and that each step of her treatment will help her grow up healthy, confident, and happy like other children.”

Josephy is a 76-year-old farmer from Malawi. He has spent most of his life working the land and continues to tend to his crops through small-scale irrigation farming. With his nine children all grown and living on their own, he spends his quieter days with his wife and grandchildren. For the past two months, Josephy has been living with an inguinal hernia, a condition that occurs when abdominal tissue protrudes through a weak spot in the lower abdominal muscles, causing a bulge in the groin area. The hernia has grown and begun to cause severe pain that spreads through his pelvis and down his right leg, slowing him down and keeping him from the farming work he loves. Fortunately, on May 7th, Josephy will undergo hernia repair surgery with the help of our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare. Josephy is contributing to his treatment, but needs help in raising $500 more to fund the surgery. He says, “I am used to working with my hands and taking care of my home. This pain has made me feel weak and unable to do what I love. If I can have this surgery, I believe I will be able to go back to my life again. I am asking for support so I can be well.”
