musa

a passionate and energetic four year old boy who shocked me the first time i saw him. he has a foot with amputated toes, a leg amputated just below the knee, and an arm that has been amputated at the elbow. his physical condition was the initial shock, but the ultimate shock was hearing that the amputations had been done in the village as an easy solution to a problem that could have been fixed another way. had musa been treated earlier and properly, he could be running around on both legs instead of crawling on a badly healed foot and stump. yet he is filled with joy and happiness and lights up when he sees those that care about him. a sad and amazing story.
