The Next Step - Nico visits the prosthetics clinic 5'03

Thanks to Dr. Bundoc for her interview and co operation in making this video and most importantly for her great work she is doing at the University of Philippines General hosptial.
During April 2012 Nico will be admitted to the prothestics & orthotics clinic at the PGH Manila.
This is a short review of what he can expect to happen after he is fitted with his first artificial legs.

A new film about Nico is scheduld for July 2012. This will be a culmination of his journey so far and will focus on his aspirations as a young artist. Nico's dream is to become an artist and he hopes to gain entry to a fine arts college after he graduates from High school in early 2013.

Several people have emailed me about donating funds to help Nico. The PFP.org supported clinic at the Philippines General Hospital will facilitate the fitting of his long needed artificial limbs at no cost to Nico's family. However, being part of a low income family in Manila still places Nico at odds and limits his options for advanced or specialised education. He is not able to afford even the most basic of art materials with which to draw.
I have therefore decided to run a funds campaign for Nico to help him with the daily needs and eventually enable him to be enrolled into a good arts college in 2013. please email me for details. info@duncsflix.com
At this time a Paypal account is available to accept funding for Nico's College Education. I can offer an audited account of any funding recieved via paypal statements along with documentation via a short video report of the use and application of the funding for Nico's development and education.

Nico - to Stand Tall - 5'59"

This six minute video was made to attract medical missions and prothetics limbs donors who can help fit Nico with artifical limbs.

Nico Tapic was born a congenital amputee, without hands and feet. He is an energetic and positive Filipino teenager. He wishes to be fitted with artificial hands and feet but his family's economic situation make it impossible like so many other children and adults with similiar medical conditions.

Thanks to the Physicians For Peace for being so quick to respond to this video about Nico and put him in contact with the P & O Clinic, at the reahbilitaion Centre of the Philippine General Hosptial.
