Truly A Hard Life – Angola Day 17

Earlier this week I was talking with a 35-year old Angolan lady who lost her left leg to a land mine 10 years ago. Angola was once home to the highest per capita concentration of land mines in the world! Then, this lady lost 8 of her ten children to fever and diarrhea. No one knows their diagnosis for sure because medical care facilities are sparse. Without the support of her husband, who was lost to combat during the civil war, she somehow managed to escape starvation. This remarkable lady then fell, could not get up, and was brought in to our Evangelical Medical Center of Lubango with pain in her good leg. Check out the X-ray!
