A Lucky Boy In Central Vietnam

This report came in a couple weeks ago from our office in Central Vietnam:

boy1205 copy.jpgAn accident happened to an eight-year-old boy (Nguyen Chi Luong-born in 1997) in Phu Loc district of Thua Thien Hue province on the ending days of the year 2005. It was on Dec 13^th when the boy came home from school. He saw unknown ordnance on the way and picked it up (It was reported later that it is a fuse). Because of curiosity, he tried to tamper it. And then came the explosion at 5 p.m. The boy received a lot of fragments on the chest and two arms and lost 2 fingers in the left hand.

Luckily, no other kids were involved the that accident. The boy was then taken to the local health center and first aid and thereafter transferred to Hue Central Hospital for intensive care and treatment. He had two surgeries for skin transplant already.
