Victim had surgery and is doing fine

The 14 year old boy who was attacked over a year ago and had his entire genitalia removed has just spent 2 weeks in hospital in Maputo, Mozambique. His operation to remove a tube will enable him to urinate "normally". The team in Maputo spent many days with him in the hospital and also arranged for him to visit our office. Here is a photo of his visit and also a couple of drawings he made for us.

Victim receiving medical and educational support

In January 2011, the boy who was attacked on May 2010 and had his genitalia and eyes removed, arrived safely at Mozambique's only school for the blind where he is learning to read and also receiving the ongoing medical attention he needs. It wasn't easy to arrange all this and credit goes to the project team who did an excellent job getting him there!
