Nai fell into a cooking fire at the age of 3 months. Her burns rendered her hands almost useless. In conjunction with the Thorntree Project and Charity: Water, this image was circulated via the internet to a group of concerned donors. Within a matter of days enough funds were donated to provide her with surgery. Less than three weeks after the picture was taken she was operated on in a procedure that will lead to her regaining a few fingers and enough use of her hands to lead a relatively normal life.
