Neema taking her first steps again |
Below is a link to a video of a little girl Neema (meaning Grace), taking her first steps for 2 years after contracting 'tuberculoses of the bones'. Cathy, Our volunteer Physio at Neema Crafts had never seen a case like Neema's before, but after some research tried a number of techniques to help her to straighten both legs. After seeing some success from casts and various exercises, the video shows Neema using a walking frame to walk about independently. Due to her sickness Neema (an orphan) has not been able to attend school school for two years and had to be carried around the house by her grandmother (in background).

We hope that after a couple more months of treatment Neema will be able to attend school again and even (we are praying) walk without using walking aids. Seeing stories like Neema's unfolding really encourages us all at Neema Crafts that we are not working in vain.

Amazing video of Neema. You and the team at Neema crafts are doing a fantastic job and are a beacon for not just Tanzania but the rest of the world in how the less able can be helped into a full and useful life. Hope that you have, or soon will find someone to take on the Guest House.
