http://www.lightstalkers.org/galleries/contact_sheet/25907 Triumph and tragedy In the remote areas in northern Vietnam are many physically handicapped children. Their disability makes it hard to fully taking part in daily life, they are less likely to find a partner and they will remain a burden for their whole life. But the world knows they are there and help is on its way. Several organisations are initiated to help them. They work together with local hospitals and government and surgeons from Hanoi. One particular team of surgeons call their work “correcting mistakes from natureâ€*. For hundreds of children the operation was successful, but one of the trips had a sad ending. A girl died two days after surgery and one day later her brother shared the same fate. http://www.lightstalkers.org en-us <img src='http://images.lightstalkers.org/images/1061576/001_small.jpg' /><br />Everybody waiting outside the hospital gate<br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1061576'>view full-size image</a> http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1061576 Mon, 24 May 2010 08:37:53 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1061576 <img src='http://images.lightstalkers.org/images/1061576/001_small.jpg' /><br />Everybody waiting outside the hospital gate<br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1061576'>view full-size image</a> Pieter Janssen <img src='http://images.lightstalkers.org/images/1061579/002_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1061579'>view full-size image</a> http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1061579 Mon, 24 May 2010 08:37:53 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1061579 <img src='http://images.lightstalkers.org/images/1061579/002_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1061579'>view full-size image</a> Pieter Janssen <img src='http://images.lightstalkers.org/images/1061582/003_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1061582'>view full-size image</a> http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1061582 Mon, 24 May 2010 08:37:53 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1061582 <img src='http://images.lightstalkers.org/images/1061582/003_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1061582'>view full-size image</a> Pieter Janssen <img src='http://images.lightstalkers.org/images/1061585/004_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1061585'>view full-size image</a> http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1061585 Mon, 24 May 2010 08:37:53 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1061585 <img src='http://images.lightstalkers.org/images/1061585/004_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1061585'>view full-size image</a> Pieter Janssen <img src='http://images.lightstalkers.org/images/1061591/005_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1061591'>view full-size image</a> http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1061591 Mon, 24 May 2010 08:37:53 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1061591 <img src='http://images.lightstalkers.org/images/1061591/005_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1061591'>view full-size image</a> Pieter Janssen <img src='http://images.lightstalkers.org/images/1061594/006_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1061594'>view full-size image</a> http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1061594 Mon, 24 May 2010 08:37:53 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1061594 <img src='http://images.lightstalkers.org/images/1061594/006_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1061594'>view full-size image</a> Pieter Janssen <img src='http://images.lightstalkers.org/images/1061660/027_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1061660'>view full-size image</a> http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1061660 Mon, 24 May 2010 08:37:53 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1061660 <img src='http://images.lightstalkers.org/images/1061660/027_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1061660'>view full-size image</a> Pieter Janssen <img src='http://images.lightstalkers.org/images/1061597/007_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1061597'>view full-size image</a> http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1061597 Mon, 24 May 2010 08:21:40 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1061597 <img src='http://images.lightstalkers.org/images/1061597/007_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1061597'>view full-size image</a> Pieter Janssen <img src='http://images.lightstalkers.org/images/1061600/008_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1061600'>view full-size image</a> http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1061600 Mon, 24 May 2010 08:21:56 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1061600 <img src='http://images.lightstalkers.org/images/1061600/008_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1061600'>view full-size image</a> Pieter Janssen <img src='http://images.lightstalkers.org/images/1061603/009_small.jpg' /><br />Trang Thi Se is 10 months old.
