2005 Gurya was in a full body cast for 45 days. Her mother kept her very clean and the cast stayed white in very difficult conditions. She lay on a table in the middle of a room that was made of hardened clay. Gurya's thigh was the size of a football and she would have died without medical intervention.

2007 Gurya now is a chubby little thing. Always smiling. She runs everywhere. It is now a tradition that I ride my scooter to visit her family. The road is like a motorcross track! After my visit Gurya enjoys a long ride clinging on to my waist as together we ride my scooter.

She wants to ride forever and always is unhappy when the ride is over!

Medical Emergency. 2005 Gurya fell down a well

We were called in because Gurya was sent home from hospital with a brick tied to the end of her foot. Believed to be traction for a broken femur.

Gurya had cried in pain for several weeks until her parents in despair called for help
