Life can be simple and it can be joyful. It's a simple thing like a wooden walking frame that helps Baraka get around while building strength in his legs. Small steps along a path that transforms a young life. . . . . #grateful #watoto#joy #photooftheday #health #miracle
A place of peace, rest and recovery. The Plaster House sits under a mountain on the edge of Arusha. Clean air, good food and lots of love for our children helps speed them along the road to recovery after surgery for their correctable disability. We have just under 100 children in care at the moment. . . . #Arusha #blessed #gratitude #grateful #watoto #health
Children recovering from surgery at The Plaster House are cared for on their beds for up to six weeks. Our housemothers make sure they are well cared for and have plenty to do. #theplasterhousedifference #highlovelowcost #duplo #lego
Mbwana's legs are in plaster because he's being treated for fluorosis. It's a condition where a child's legs bend because there is too much fluoride occurring naturally in the water. The leg plaster usually stays on for around a month and that's a long time for a little boy to not be running around. But, thank goodness his toy friends are there to help him through his recovery! . . . . #fluorosis #recovery #mtoto
