The boy was found at a bus station, with his leg visibly deformed, indicating he needed specialized care and rehabilitation. Social services quickly responded to the situation, arranging for his transport to Kasisi, where he could receive the necessary medical assistance. After long weeks of intensive therapy, procedures, and medical care, his leg was finally set and began to regain functionality. At last, the day came when he could move freely, play, and participate in various activities with the other children. Now, when we see Raphael running with a smile on his face, it’s hard to believe he’s the same boy.
A school kit includes notebooks, allowing children to study at home. It also includes a pair of shoes, which, if not for Kasisi, they would have to borrow from their siblings. And finally, a delicious, healthy sandwich in the backpack, which gives them the energy they need for their studies. Just like the sandwich their mother would prepare. You can pack one into their backpack today—from right here, from your own home.
