Seng Leng lives in Mondulkiri province and is the youngest of five children. He enjoys playing volleyball and spending time with his brothers. Seng Leng has Neurofibromatosis, a genetic disorder that causes skin abnormalities and tumors to grow on nerve tissue. Since he was a young child, Seng Leng has had a mass on his right cheek. In the past couple of years, it has grown in size. He is worried it will continue to grow and cause further discomfort when eating and talking. In November, a small team of maxillofacial surgeons will remove the mass from Seng Leng's cheek. Other surgical residents and medical students will accompany the surgeons to facilitate training of the next generation of surgeons. Removing the tumor will make Seng Leng feel more comfortable and less scared of further growth. Seng Leng shared, "I hope that the doctors can remove the tumor so I can go back home and go back to work without worrying all the time."

Horm is a 66-year-old rice farmer from Kandal province. He is married and has one daughter, four sons, and three grandchildren. His wife sells coffee in front of their home with his youngest daughter, who also is a clothes garment worker. At home, Horm enjoys listening to the monks pray and the news on the radio. Three years ago, Horm developed a cataract in his right eye. This can make it difficult to see any small details clearly. He is unable to work out in the field and feels bad because it is his responsibility as the head of his family. When Horm learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, he traveled for three hours seeking treatment. On October 16th, doctors will perform a small incision cataract surgery, and an intraocular lens implant in his right eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, he needs help to fund this $253 procedure. Horm shared: "I hope after surgery I can see better and feel happy. I hope to return to growing rice well and seeing the faces of my children and grandchildren."
