Srey Leak is a 10-year-old girl from Cambodia who is in the 3rd grade. She has one brother and two sisters. Srey Leak likes to stay at home, read books, and watch the song channel on TV. A doctor in Siem Reap Province told Srey Leak’s family about Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC). She traveled for seven hours with her mother to reach CSC for treatment.
Four of Srey Leak’s fingers on her right hand were burned when she was just one year old. She was treated in Kuntha Bopha Hospital in Siem Reap, but she still experiences pain and it is difficult for her to use her right fingers.
For $194, surgeons at CSC will perform contracture release surgery to release the scarred tissue. This will allow Srey Leak to freely move her fingers and she can go back to school to continue her studies.
