    23.25.33 ...these kids we saw them in Kigali in 1ì
    of the hospitals there. They were a bitì
    malnourished. Some of them had still some openì
    wounds and we decided to bring 4 of them back withì
    us for treatment.
    23.26.15 ...we started off by closing some of theì
    wounds, we started off with that & then after thatì
    we started fitting the artificial limbs for 3 ofì
    the teenage kids & at this stage 2 of them areì
    doing fine with the artificial limbs. They areì
    busy with physiotherapy.
    23.26.28 The 3rd kid is still waiting, he will beì
    measured I think next week for his artificial limbì
    but the problem is he has got a very highì
    amputation and that will need a special type ofì
    artificial limb. But after that with the fittingì
    he can also start with his physiotherapy.
