Emmanuel Festo Rutema,13, Baraka Lusambo, 5, and Mwigulu Matonage
Magesa, 12, are among some of the Albino children who had their limbs
and fingers chopped off in brutal attacks in
Tanzania. Emmanuel’s
attackers, wielding machetes and hammers, chopped off his arm and the
fingers on his other hand before trying to extract his tongue and teeth.
He spent five months recovering and now has a severe speech impediment.
Five-year-old Baraka Lusambo's father is accused of involvement in his
attack six months ago and is under arrest in Tanzania.
Canada-based charity, Under The Same Sun brought the young victims to
New York to recover from their ordeals and experience some of the
normality of childhood.
