There is great satisfaction for the "walk together" we are also supporting with our books, both for the number of children operated on for the style that we work with local doctors believed by very effective and respectful of their autonomy. In 2011 we will continue with two more missions to complete ... are the draft.
I'll tell you a little personal history that gives the sign of what we can concretely do for Eritrean children with the support of many friends and in particular the group "When I was little."
Last March, during a visit to Keren, Eritrea's northern cities to meet with disabled children, a mother had put me in her arms her child, Kefen of six years, who had recently had both legs badly burned in a fire in a badly amputated, asking me to do something to help.
We brought the child to Asmara on the occasion of the first mission of the Rizzoli last May and Prof Faldini has worked to stabilize the stump of his leg amputated and to improve le condizioni dell’altra gamba.
Abbiamo nel frattempo fatto gli opportuni accordi, trovato il finanziamento e ottenuto l’autorizzazione all’espatrio e il mese prossimo Kefen sarà in Italia per l’applicazione della protesi che gli consentirà di camminare.
Siamo andato a trovarli a Keren ed è stato un incontro bellissimo, non solo per la loro gioia ma perché Kefen si muove già talmente bene con l’unica gamba che ha che scherzando potremmo dire che potrebbe fare a meno della protesi. Dopo averci incontrato, ci ha mostrato orgogliosamente le sue capacità lanciando un copertone di auto sul cortile, rincorrendolo e spingendolo agilmente con la sua unica gamba. Una meraviglia!!
