   Orphanage young girl: Feb 2018 An incredibly inspiring & gutsy little girl, Nhanh, first survived abandonment in the jungle as a toddler, and then amputation after an infectious snake bite. Now, inspite of such traumatic experiences at such a young age, Nhanh is blossoming into a smart, confident and courageous young girl, supported by a new caring family in Kampong Chhnang, and about to receive the independence that comes with a modern prosthetic limb, thanks to a supportive #wahglobal donor. Secure & surrounded by people who genuinely care, Nhanh aspires to be a nurse or a teacher when she grows up.
