27 JUNE 2006 - SIEM REAP, CAMBODIA: CHAN TREA, 9, who lost her leg because of a birth defect, waits to be fitted with a prosthesis at Handicap International in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Handicap International helps Cambodians maimed by mines and unexploded ordinance as well as traffic accidents and disease adjust to a life without limbs. Cambodians are still wrestling with the legacy of the war in Vietnam and subsequent civil wars. At one time it was the most heavily mined country in the world and a vast swath of Cambodia, along the Thai-Cambodian border, is still mined. In 2004, more than 800 people were killed by mines and unexploded ordinance still found in the countryside. Photo by Jack Kurtz
