Akilesh, curved foot, 2004

2007 Gurya with total healing holding her goat



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!
