This is Priscovia and her family. The man is her uncle, on his left is her mother. Priscovia is the little girl who was caught in the house fire where her two brothers died. She is the one with the neck brace.
Before her surgeries at CURE, Priscovia wouldn't smile. She would hide her face and her body and refused to talk to anyone. Look at this powerful picture!!! She's SMILING!!!
Chisenga Chisenga-- this little girl (with the same first and last names) stuck her arm in boiling water. She was told by other doctors there was nothing they could do. She went to CURE and she looks amazing!!! AND she has use of her arm, which she didn't have before!
This little boy followed us around in this one village... he wouldn't touch us but he would be one step behind me everywhere I went. Before we left, I decided to pick him up, and look how happy he is!!!
This precious sight is Pamela. She was a burn victim since she was a little girl, was told there was nothing any doctor could do... but then she went to CURE. She now has full use of her arm, she writes with it, fetches water from the well, plays with her friends... She has told me she wants to be a nurse! I will never forget this beautiful girl. She is now 18 years old. Notice her right arm-- the length compared to her waist as well as the way it looks. LOVE this girl.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures :)
