Some time ago I posted about a little Karen girl who was in hospital in Chiengmai. That was way back in February 2010. The little girl was called Buk Paw and she was in hospital for surgery to remove a huge lump on her nose. She was able to have the procedure thanks to the work of an English woman called Madge Davey who runs a charity called KidzinKampz. Madge contacted me recently with an up-to-date picture of Buk Paw and you can see it below alongside the picture I used in the orignal post. I’m sure you will appreciate what a fantastic job the surgeon did, as well as applauding the wonderful work that Madge is doing for the kids in the camp up on the Thai-Myanmar border.
You can find my original post HERE.
Madge’s website can be found HERE. I hope you will visit it to find out more about the work that KidzinKampz is doing.
Buk Paw looks a little darling now, what a wonderful transformation for the kid and massive kudos to Madge for the work she has put in. Some real life stories do have happy endings.

You're right, Martyn. I remember that when she was in hospital the operation had to be postponed because she had a cold or something. That must have tried everybody's patience, though I doubt Buk Paw knew much about it. She must be a brave little girl, though.
Thanks for your comment, Martyn.
