Exceed’s teaching staff in the Faculty of Prosthetic & Orthotic Engineering at the National Institute of Social Affairs this week received training in the use of the Vulcan Prosthetic Hand delivered by the hand team from Vulcan Augmetics.
Following the course, one of our senior clinicians Mr Odom Teap commented “Our staff and students have learned a lot from this new technology which will benefit people with disabilities.”
Beast Philanthropy has announced that it is supporting Exceed Worldwide’s work in Cambodia by funding the supply of 2,000 prosthetic devices, worth $235,000.
Mr Beast and his team worked with Exceed in Cambodia to create their latest video which is running on Beast Philanthropy’s YouTube channel right now.
Carson Harte, CEO of Exceed Worldwide said, ‘This is a wonderful gesture and fantastic news for Exceed and the people we support. Beast Philanthropy’s donation will help us to secure the future of our prosthetic and orthotic (P&O) services in Cambodia and, on behalf of Exceed Worldwide I’d like to thank them most sincerely for supporting people with disabilities.’
He continued, ‘P&O is about more than supplying artificial limbs and braces. When people are mobile they can access education and jobs and have a good life. Many people don’t make this link, but the message will now reach millions of people thanks to the creative talents of the Beast Philanthropy team.
Through Beast Philanthropy, Mr Beast tells his followers about needs and challenges they may not know about, puts the world in perspective and gives his viewers the chance to make the world a better place. These are all great things and working with the ultra-enthusiastic Beast Philanthropy team has been a pleasure.’
Responding to these comments, Darren Margolias, Executive Director of Beast Philanthropy said, ‘It was our honour to work with you and your incredible team.’
