The boy who walked again

The attack he is describing took place in March 2014, when Jeovahni was 10 years old. His country, the Central African Republic , was entering the second year of a civil war that is still being fought today.

“I felt really helpless,” says his mother Danly Lydie. “I saw him crawling on the floor. We had no money to help him.” “It’s a huge number,” says Guenther Schuelein, a German specialist who has spent his career managing prosthetics centres all over the world, including Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Morocco, Azerbaijan, Angola, Bolivia and Guatemala. He says the CAR is among the most difficult environments in which he has worked.

He can now attach his new legs by himself, and can walk without crutches — though he’s still a little wobbly. “I’m so happy. I thank God for keeping me in his view, so I can go on and study and work like everyone else,” he says.
