West Africa

A call to action: do you know a doctor or surgeon who could help?

I am writing with a specific appeal for 3-year-old Sah Johnson. Sah lives in Sierra Leone and was born with a major growth on his spinal cord. I first met Sah about a year ago in his home in a refugee camp outside of Freetown the capital of Sierra Leone. Since then, his situation has rapidly deteriorated. Due to immobility, both his legs are infested with large sores. My friend Hazel Chandler has created a short 1 min film to give you a visual on Sah's condition.
