Buster Walks!

For a few weeks now I’ve had good intentions of taking two of the kids from Child Survival to Monrovia Rehabilitation Center, a part of Handicap International. Buster has been in a wheelchair as long as we have known him. His legs are quite weak and a little contracted, and I thought that maybe they could do some therapy with him. What I didn’t expect was to wheel him into the office and have him walk out with the help of his new walker! Buster isn’t too tall, so the folks at MRC had to take the smallest walker they could find and saw the ends off. But that hasn’t slowed Buster down. He started dancing in his chair as they brought the walker over, and he took right off down the hall without any help. I had to convince him to rest a little and start slow; He was so excited to get back to the orphanage home to show all his friends how he can move!
