A twenty-five year old UXO (un-exploded ordnance) victim sits in the doorway of his living quarters at The National Rehabilitation Center in Vientiane Laos. Although Lao government officials claim there are between 200-400 new victims each year, outside sources dispute that figure and their estimates run much higher.
