Charity work in Sri Lanka, and prosthetic hands

The Oxford woman who has given up her job to run a charity in Sri Lanka, and an Oxford girl with meningitisis who is going to get her first prosthetic hands thanks to 3D printing.

The perfect start to the weekend with Ali Jones. Ten years after she narrowly escaped the Boxing Day Tsunami, Ali will be meeting the Oxford woman who has given up her job to run a charity helping young children in Sri Lanka. This week’s Smartphone Safari comes from the garden of CS Lewis’ former Oxford home which was one of the inspirations for his magical kingdom of Narnia, and 4 years after she lost all four limbs to meningitis, an Oxford girl is poised to get her very first prosthetic hands thanks to 3D printing.
