Mike Webber of Rose Charities New Zealand has just returned from Cambodia. Mike, has just returned after a very productive trip to  the Rose Charities Eye Clinic in Cambodia. Mike took with him three generously donated items from New Zealand. An A-scan laser, a keratometer and a beautiful Moller-Wedel operating microscope.  All these items will be of enormous benefit to the eye clinic and were gratefully accepted by Dr’s Hang and Natalia Vra.   Mr Sam Plummer and his wife, New Zealanders living in Phnom Penh, kindly assisted with customs formalities  and all the equipment was delivered without mishap.,

Mike Webber along with Dr David ’Sabo’  Sabison and Mr John Veale have  been enormously instrumental in supporting and developing the eye clinic into Cambodia’s foremost facility for the poor together with Drs Vra.   Both Mike Webber and Dr  David Sabiston are recipients of the N.Z. Order of Merit, one of the countries highest honours.  Mike, Sabo, and John have, over the years each made several visits to Cambodia both to teach as well as assist with organizational support.

On this occasion the equipment was donated from generous individuals from both the North and South Island.
