Caroline Rose Adong helps Landmine victims
Her story really moved me. Maybe because she was hit hard twice, or maybe because, despite everything, she didn’t give up and is now fighting for a better life for her fellow sufferers.
At the age of six months, Caroline fell victim to polio. The disease advanced so severly that she was left permanently disabled. Caroline could only move painstakingly and with help from a brace. Still, she was able to attend school, because it was in the town where she lived. When she was ten years old, some masked men bombed her school.
Bombardment at the School – Caroline is a victim again
While the other kids ran away screaming, Caroline crawled slowly out of the rubble. Somehow she escaped the flames. Her brace, however, was burned. For the next six years, Caroline crawled on the floor of her parent’s hut, while her mother and father were out working in the field to feed their family. Luckily, Caroline’s luck changed for the better. Thanks to benevolent people like you, she was finally able to have an operation, and after painstaking therapy, has learned to walk again. An undaunted will to live also helped.
Caroline is an on-site Partner
Today, Caroline even has a college degree. She works at our partner organization, Survivor Corps on site, because nothing is more important to her than improving the life of a disabled person.
