Volunteering in the developing world: The 2003-2004 Sterling Bunnell Traveling Fellowship to Honduras and Cambodia.

One of the goals of my Sterling Bunnell Traveling Fellowship, sponsored by the American Society for Surgery of the Hand and the American Foundation for Surgery of the Hand, was to serve the poor in developing countries. I had the unique opportunities to work in Honduras and Cambodia, 2 countries with rich cultural heritage residing at opposite ends of the world. This report describes my observations and my experiences in these 2 countries.
