Samiela is a four year girl living in Butembo, DRC. She was born with one leg and no hands, yet is an example of resilience. Her mother was traumatized from having her home bombed during the Ugandan occupation which may have contributed to the birth defects. Samiela is very smart, speaks well and actually demonstrates some leadership gifts with the other children.
If you are in Canada, I can accept Interac debit and ensure that 100% of any generous donation is transferred to her care givers. michael.ben@rogers.com
UPDATE: The caregivers of Samiela have purchased a goat for her with the generous donations that were provided. Thank-you!
