28-year-old Su-Su loves her job helping injured children and adults walk again. She works in the Hpa-An Orthopaedic Centre in southern Myanmar, where she makes and custom fits artificial limbs for victims of landmines, traffic accidents and other injuries. Her specialist training was entirely funded by the ICRC, making her one of only 10 fully trained prosthetic technicians in the whole of Myanmar. Ref. AV169D
