Victoria group lends a helping hand to Ukraine, setting up prosthetic clinics
Nick Dechev was startled when an air raid siren blared across a medical site in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv last month.
So far, recipients of the group’s limbs in Ukraine have included accident victims and a three-year-old boy born without a right arm, but the goal is to help war victims too. Though the Victoria Hand Project is currently operating in 10 countries, Dechev said he didn’t know what to expect when he entered Ukraine.
In both cities he visited, air raid message alerts, which appeared regularly via cellphones, were also a giveaway.Roman Sawycky, president of the Ukrainian Canadian Social Services of Vancouver, said he was impressed that Dechev followed through with the trip. Ultimately, Dechev deemed the pilot project was success. In addition to the three-year-old boy, the other recipients had lost limbs in industrial or automobile accidents.
